My First Trip to a Build-A-Bear Workshop, Saturday, June 15, 2002

 |
| Reading the Build-A-Bear Workshop brochure at home, hoping to go soon | A Teddy Assistant greets you at the entrance to help guide you through the process of creating your very own bear! | Animal "skins": animals without stuffing (how they begin). There are stuffed versions of each along the wall, so you can see how they will look | Where you can add a sound or song to your animal, if you would like | Holding my teddy, waiting in line for his stuffing |
 |

 |
| Teddy Assistant instructing me about the foot pedal | Teddy Assistant filling up my bear | The stuffing machine, foot pedal operated by prospective bear owner! | Being instructed on warming the bear's heart and putting good wishes in | Bunnicula's bear being filled with stuffing |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Bunnicula inserts heart into his bear (as I did with mine) | Bunnicula holds his new bear | Mousie holds *her* new bear! | Next stop: the fluffing station | This is just a *small* section of all the clothes and accessories that are available! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Dressing your bear (mirrors provided for bears to see what they look like in various clothes) | Martin, in tee-shirt and denim cutoffs! | Next: a bank of computers, where you type in the info about you and your bear and get either a birth certificate or storybook (your choice) | Packing up all our stuff at the checkout counter (where you also receive the birth certificate or storybook) | Two "cub condos" (what the bears ride home in) and three "suitcases" full of clothes and accessories! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Martin, with other bears who received some new clothes | Teddy in island shirt and cargo pants, plus sunglasses around his neck | Nicholas, minus red knit hat and scarf, now sporting a breezy summer straw hat and a braided black velvet ribbon (braided ribbon fashioned by da mouse) | Christopher wearing a patriotic vest and visor | Martin in his police uniform, with whistle |
