Cabela’s

Cabela’s is the new mega outdoors store in the Alliance Corridor of Fort Worth. Today they hosted Kid’s Day festival that we’d been planning to take the boys to for almost a month. Since there were other activities we were bound to today and our collective family time was limited, we decided to split responsibilities so I took Ian, Trevor and Myles to the event. As we came in and passed by other folks fishing in the mini-lake at the front of the building, we all decided to do that first. I signed out two rods that were hooked and sinkered for us by a couple of “fishing dudes” and took them and they boys down to the lake where another Cabela’s employee put the worm on for us. Ian and Trevor had the best time just casting, watching the bobber and reeling the line back in. They must have fished for a solid hour while Myles was content to pretend that he was driving the dock out to sea and, at times, yell at the water as if commanding the fish to jump up on to the dock in surrender.

Next Ian and Trevor tried their hand at supervised archery with a couple of pretty sweet compound bows. Their target was a poster of a Grizzly. Trevor shot it right in the heart and Ian got him in the neck. Then we perused the “General Store” (aka, toy shop) before heading to the BB Rifle range and although not nearly as successful as archery, they had a blast nonetheless. Overall, the father-son-son-son bonding experience doing very manly things was a huge success. Also, a big Thank You to the entire team at Cabela's for making us 'City Slickers' feel like real Outdoorsmen.
