Fun at the Bass Pro Shop

Well we have hit the big time....Manteca (the town right next to Tracy) is big time now. Just this week the opened the area's first and only Bass Pro Shop. We had some free time this morning so we packed up the family and headed down the road to the "BPS" as we refer to it.

I have never seen so many people in one place in the Central Valley before, the place was a zoo. Now before you all think that the Francis family has sold out and we have been turned into a fishing hick fam, just wait. This place is actually really cool. They have so many different things in this store it is overwhelming. From boats to guns, to clothes and bikes, they have everything that involves any outdoor sport you can think of. Including probably every piece of fishing equipment. Here are a few fun pics from our time there. I think this will be a place we will frequent, especially after the aquarium gets filled with the fish.

This is looking back at the crazy entrance to the store. You actually walk thru a redwood when you enter the store.

There is a waterfall that goes over the staircase as you walk upstairs. The aquarium at the bottom will eventually be filled with fish....they and not arrived yet.

Just a glimpse at the CRAZY amount of people here.

Dani had fun looking at all the animals. She loved this bear.

Chris and Bryan loved the shooting gallery they had in the back of the store. Although I think Bryan spent more quarters then Bryan.
