Santa!

We went to Bass Pro Shop yesterday so Ada could see Santa.  She's never had the opportunity to sit on his lap before, so we thought it might be fun for her.  I knew there was the possibility that she might not like it, but I thought that was a risk worth taking.  We also took Hummaw (Grandma) and Aunt Hubbeth (Elisabeth), which I hoped would help lessen the fear.  We arrived at 4:00 only to be told that we had to get a ticket to stand in line.  The ticket said to come back at 6:30 so we decided to go the Bass Pro Shop restaurant.  It took forever for the food to arrive.  And it wasn't really all that great.  We did, however, get our first taste of alligator and catfish.  Not a fan of either, really.  They did have some beautiful tropical fish in the restaurant...and that proved to be most entertaining for the Rotten One.

After dinner our time for Santa finally came.  Ada was so excited!  She knew exactly what she wanted to ask him for... a boat and a pink gun...but mostly the boat.  She was waving and yelling to him.  It seemed she couldn't wait to see him.  And then it happened.

Oh well.  Maybe next year.
