Monday 3 September is Labor Day public holiday here in the States. To keep the kids happy at the start of the long weekend, we took them out to Montgomery Westfield on Saturday afternoon to Build a Bear Workshop.
This is a shop designed to extract maximum bucks from parents. ;-) Basically the kids select a bear 'skin', take it to get it filled (including a heart and a 'voicebox' which the kids can record); name it on the shop's computer (which records your contact details of course); dress it; accessorise it; and let the parents pay for it while the kids enjoy reading their bear's birth certificate.
We managed to get out fairly lightly with just a dressed bear each and some vague promises to return in the future. Olivia has of course picked out extra accessories for Laura Bear while Kieren thinks Liam Triceratops needs a skateboard to make his life complete.
Photos are here - nothing like buying a kid's smile!!
