Scripture Power?

Any one who has children in primary knows the song Scripture Power
http://library.lds.org/nxt/gateway.dll/Magazines/Friend/1987.htm/friend%20october%201987.htm/scripture%20power%20.htm?fn=document-frameset.htm
(If you don't know it click the link and begin learning it...it is so darling and really a great song)
Well like most kids...it is a FAVORITE at our house!!
In fact it is so much a favorite that my dear sweet enthusiastic boys sing it all the time...
only they have added a little twist to the spiritual nature of it...
whenever the chorus begins....
[sung at the top of their sweet little lungs]
"scripture power (they hold up their scriptures) keeps me safe from sin...scripture power is the power to WIN"
with the word win...the scriptures that were being held up to show their excitement are thrown at each other....don't ask me how this has come to be but none the less it happens almost every time...it's a work in progress. After one such exuberant singing Oscar received a square hit...oops!



...we're seriously going to quit the throwing...poor oscar...who knew those little soft back Book of Mormons could do so much damage!!

The Biggest Cabela's in the WORLD!!

So....rumor has it that we have the BIGGEST Cabela's in the world...I have not checked out the facts yet but I would believe it...they had a full walk through aquarium. It was impressive for sure! The kids had a blast...and we even ate at the Cafe...Okay we brought food and sat in the Cafe to eat it...sorry the buffalo burger or elk sandwich weren't sounding too appetizing!

Looking into the pond at the hugest trout IN THE WORLD...that is probably true too becuase really it could have swallowed Eleanor WHOLE! The pond was just one side of an immense center piece with probably 100 stuffed animals from 3 moose fighting to over 10 musk oxen, 5-6 polar bears, a Grizzly, 8 buffalo, ton's of other sheepish animals, some other predators, TONS of little animals...you name an american animal and it was artfully stuffed and positioned on the Mountain! Depending on what side of the mountain you were on it was a different season...it really was cool...sometimes a little National Geographic for me. Gordon was FASCINATED with all the "predator attacking prey" displays...as those of you who know our little man can only imagine!

Oscar and Steve enjoying the "sheep from other places" display...this artful piece was decorated with sheep and deer from all over the WORLD!


Wrestlin' the kids into a picture...Gordon is very ellusive when it comes to pictures...much like the many many many animals in the back ground!

YOU GOTTA LOVE THOSE TEETH!!!
Can I just say again...this girl is a DREAM...the best baby!!

Oscar LOVED the buffaloes..oh and a correction...there were 8 or more buffalo 1 was taken down by wolves in another "scene" and I think vultures got to another one....oh wait the vultures were picking apart one of the foreign deer from the African display...eek!
