On Saturday I had the pleasure of taking my first trip to Cabelas. I was going to get John a gift card for his birthday, so I expected it to be a short, uneventful trip. I walked in the doors and went straight for the register. The minute the guy in front of me turned around with the most crooked set of teeth I have seen in a while, I realized I had left Utah and entered a whole different country. Redneck country, to be exact.I guess since it was Saturday, every redneck from Wyoming to West Valley had congregated there. One woman came in with two boys who quickly set about playing with the gun safes and touching everything within sight. She yelled, "Did I tell y'all you could touch anything. I don't remember saying it was okay for y'all to touch anything. Drop and give me 40!" What? I am not kidding you, those boys dropped and began doing push ups in the middle of the aisle. And do you think anyone besides me was staring at them, thinking it was weird?
I must have seen 5 men with babies in front packs, so I think dads that are babysitting spend some quality time with their kids there. It reminded me of our first trip to Kansas every summer. Remember the stop in Oklahoma city at Sheplers for everyone to get a new pair of boots and all the necessary gear? Fun memories. Oliver sure wished we could have stayed longer, but we needed to pick up Savannah. John told me the average first stay at a Cabelas store is 4 hours. Maybe next time.

That's hilarious about the push ups!
I think Jon would take great offense to your redneck comment - Cabela's is on of his favorite stores. I've been there so many times I could probably direct you to find anything that you need.
You should take Oliver back to see all of the animals. If you go at the right time you can even see them feeding the fish goldfish. It is a pretty crazy experience.
