Picture With Santa 2014

I had no idea there was a Bass Pro Shop here in WA. I know they have Cabella's since I've seen two of them. One day while I was browsing online I read about Santa's Wonderland happening at Bass Pro Shop. I thought that besides having Riley's picture taken with Santa that he would have a blast seeing the inside of this store.
As soon as we walked in, it was non stop "wow!". We took several pictures around the store. I especially loved the huge fireplace.

While I stood in line to wait to take a picture with Santa -Jacob and Riley walked around the store. They spent most of the time looking at all the fish in the aquarium.
I was finally glad it was our turn. Happy that Riley didn't cry like he did last year but he was still a bit nervous and shy because he really didn't want to make eye contact with Santa..

This was the picture that was taken by Santa's elves. I'm glad a faint smile was captured because he really didn't want to smile. He was happy to have gotten a candy cane {or candy "came" as he says it} afterwards though.

Riley named this reindeer Sven, lol. He would say, "look mommy Sven, like in Frozen". He kept starring at it probably wondering if it was real or not.

We walked around the store for a bit. I checked out some camping stuff, l like stuff like that even though I've only been camping twice in my entire life and when I was a kid.

Riley learned the name of one particular fish, sturgeon. He kept pointing at it whenever it would swim by.

After we left the store we stopped by Wendy's and got fries and a frosty. Jacob got our kids started into dipping their fries in their frosty's. Me well, I'm not a fan. The frosty's are good though.

Just before going home we made one last stop at Starbucks. Sydna and Nathan had stayed home and we wanted to bring them something sweet back.
Just as we were pulling into the parking lot its when I felt my heart racing, felt hot, static hearing. I began taking deep breaths and concentrated on relaxing. It lasted about a minute. That scared me.

Later that night around 1:00 am I woke up again with that feeling in my chest. I woke Jacob up, headed to the emergency room and the rest is history. I wrote about it a few posts back.

I am so so very thankful and grateful for Jacob.
