    As a build a bear enthusiast I want to say that Lucas' "bear" is actually a groundhog and Jacob's is a werewolf.

I'm so glad I watched this.....the skin suits are terrifying and watching that worker stuff the bear made me so uncomfortable 😂😭. I hate it now and I would've hated that as a kid too.

    Build a bear was literally my childhood! I once purchased a stuffed dog at the age of 3. I became emotionality attached to her. I genuinely believed she was my daughter. One day, when I was about 8 years old, I went to a park with her. I had lost her. I was never the same since, I now suffer from depression and anxiety. Anyway build a bear is great! 😁

    If you guys enjoyed Build-A-Bear...you should check out The Cabbage Patch Hospital in Cleveland GA. There's a whole birthing situation from the magic cabbage tree - a doctor goes out, wiggles the baby cabbage patch out - you recite an oath with the nurse before the adoption - you get to go see the baby in the nursing center getting her checkup/vitals done - etc etc. it was magically beautiful. Yes, I went there for my 25th birthday - and yes I paid for the new born birth experience - and yes I came home with two adopted cabbage patch daughters/custom made dolls - one new born, and one toddler. The toddler had freckles and green eyes like her mom (me) and diamond earrings and long, tumbling curls. Heavenly Skye and Stormy Skye, my sweet babies. I bought them home, so proud - and my mother (aka their GRANDMOTHER) put them in a plastic container and shoved them under her bed after they were home with me for a few months. Still....processing....that.....
    ANYWHO lol - real talk, it's a fun experience if you're still looking for the magic in life.
    Road trip time for you guys! The Atlanta Zoo, and on to Cleveland GA to the Cabbage Patch Hospital :)
    *and a meet and greet perhaps? lol
    Hope you guys have a great week! I appreciate your little corner of the internet. Keep doing what you do. It makes folks happy :)

    Having recently gone back to a build a bear to get a present for my mom I can attest it’s just as magical as a 21 year old as it was as an 8 year old 😭😭 I genuinely hope to god this company never goes bankrupt, if I had the funds I would buy one of the stores myself and keep it running. There’s nothing else like bab. It’s just so wholesome and pure. I still have the bear I made in third grade and I’ll keep him until I die and he IS my best friend. His name is Kevin and he’s a brown bear. I love him ❤
    P.s. when we went the stuffing lady told us that you can bring your build a bears for free to any location to get restuffed no matter how old they are! It’s a store guarantee. If anyone’s bear needs a little plumping take them to the any bab store and they’ll be glad to restuff it for you!

    I think I went to Build A Bear once when I was like 4, I'm pleasantly surprised they're still up and running. I would have thought the whole appeal of being able to customize something would have not been as exciting for kids now since you can customize things online, and the idea of going to a physical place and seeing physical things happen and that is inherently exciting no matter if the actual things you're watching are thrilling or not, would not have been very popular with kids now. That's fun they're still around, not just for the nostalgia's sake, the concept of the business is quite unique!
