Cabela's: The World's Foremost Outfitter

Cheap dates are the best. If you live in the Provo/Salt Lake area, Cabela's makes a great cheap date.


We went looking for some camping equiptment, but ended up just exploring what the store had to offer. The store is almost like a museum, with wild life displays everywhere.


We especially like the shooting range. For a buck, we were entertained for a whole hour. Joe's a great shot!


I was able to hold my own. Joe only beat me by 5 points or 1 shot. It was fun because every time you hit a target, something in the landscape moved or lit up. For example, if you hit an animal, it would spin around. (Warning: If you are anti-hunting, you will hate Cabela's).


Joe taped some video as proof that I can hit a target. It's through facebook, so you have to log in to view it. I hit the tail light of the truck. You can see it flash.


Joe found his favorite chair of all time. He was pretty serious about wanting to bring it home. Although it was comfortable, it just wouldn't match our home decor.


The store also boasts of a pretty cool aquarium. I had no idea catfish could get so big!


This is a weird pic of us, but it's the only one of us together that night. We had a great time at Cabela's even though we didn't buy a thing (except the tokens for the shooting range). However, if you are a hunter, you might want to leave your wallet at home.

Melon-O-Lanterns

Oh summer. It brings so many wonderful things, one of which is yummy and succulent watermelon. Any of you who know me, know that I love this moist fruit, and can't wait each season to head to the local supermarket to pick out the melon with the most bee stings. That and exhibiting a particular hollow sound when knocked on ensures a sweet treat (according to my mother). So the other day, when asked if I had any ideas for an FHE activity, I spurted out the first thing that came to mind . . . let's make melon-o-lanterns. What is a melon-o-lantern you may ask? Well, simply the carving of the summer fruit into something similar to it's autumn cousin Jack. Although a lot messier, carving watermelons had it's own pleasures. Eating the inside was way more enjoyable than eating raw pumpkin, and the green and red coloring added a whole new dimension to the art. Overall, it was a great activity, one that I wouldn't mind making into a summer tradition.
