After we had spent two days visiting Pompeys Pillar and traveling the Beartooth Pass into Yellowstone National Park we decided to have a different kind of fun. We'd never been to Sheels Sporting Goods. My brother assured us we'd have a lot of fun, but spending time in a sporting goods store was not my idea of a good time. I had to eat my words. . .
There were so many exciting things to see. Bronze sculptures and wood carvings as well as beautiful animal exhibits.
This is the closest I ever want to get to a bear. . .
These are some of the most beautiful exhibits I've see outside a museum. This really was fun! There can be a "great adventure" even in a sporting goods store. If you have a Sheels near you visit it. Take the kids and grand kids. There are aquariums and a Ferris wheel to entertain them. AND in Billlings they have a cafeteria and they sell FUDGE!

Adventures can come
In the most surprising ways
And it's simply fun
By a mountain lion
Have the wits scared out of you
To find out he's stuffed
But it's all in fun
When it's with loved ones you laugh
It WAS so much fun
~~~^j^~~
Thanks be to God
Cathy
