Build a Bear Workshop

Ethan and I, along with our friends Chris and Sam, had a fun evening at the Build a Bear Workshop at our local mall. We had coupons for $5 off a $10 or more purchase which made the bears a really reasonable price ($5). The boys enjoyed picking out their bears, selecting a heart to put inside them before they were stuffed, and they got to push the pedal that controlled the flow of stuffing into their bears. Fortunately the boys were content to just look at the tons of outfits and play with the accessories that you could purchase for the bears (and not buy them). Ethan named his bear Cuddles and even received a birth certificate for his bear when we checked out. Cuddles is one of his favorite stuffed animals, and I think that it is neat that Ethan got to participate in "building" him!
