Santa-man

This morning we took Case to see Santa at at Bass Pro (I know, so Alabama). They've been advertising in our local paper and it seemed an easy way for Case to try it out. He's never been to see Santa; a crowded mall is an invitation for a Meltdown. But this was close to our house, and we went with the plan that this would be fun for Case with no insistence on having a Memorable Childhood Experience TM. If he wasn't having fun we were GONE.

Case was thrilled when we pulled up, recognising it as somewhere he could see fish. Inside there were lots of games for kids to play: Nerf ranges, a (laser) Red Rider shooting gallery, slot cars, trains, and a craft station. We got there really early so it wasn't crowded. I stood in line while the boys ran around, and after a short wait it was his turn.

Case doesn't understand the general "What do you want for Christmas" type questions but he likes guys with beards and was happy to give Santa-man five, and a hug.
