A Brief Lesson in Taxidermy

     The other night we took the kids to see Santa.  This year we chose to see the one at the Bass Pro Shops because they have a little wonderland that the kids can enjoy before and after visiting with Santa.  Since it was so close to Christmas we had to get our ticket for later, which left us with some time to explore the store.  Bass Pro Shop has been down the street for two years now {I think} and we have been to it maybe three times.  I like the store, but I have a hard time envisioning what exactly it is that I would buy there.  After a bit of looking around, Mikayla mentions that the geese look like real ones.  So I had to have a quick little lesson of how the store goes about getting the animals and preserving them for display.  Not quite sure she got all of it, because after our discussion she was putting extra gore into how they get them when she was sharing her new found knowledge with her dad.  Umm, yea, next time the taxidermy lesson can be left up to him.
