So for any of you who have been to Sierra Vista you know there is not much to do. Our mall is tiny and not much is in there. We do have however a Bear Connection, which is like Build-a-Bear. So Avery had a half day of school and I actually had the day off so we invited his best friend, Eli, his mom Melinda and his sister Malia to spend the day with us. Avery has been asking me to go since it got put in the mall. So we surprised the kids and took them there.
We have a pizza place in the mall so that is where we had lunch. Avery loves pizza. Brian met us there from work so he could eat lunch with us too! Melinda didn't know she was in the pic...sorry.
Then off the the bear shop we went. Eli got Avery into dinosaurs big time, so they both stuffed 2 dinosaurs. Malia stuffed a crocodile and a lamb. Taylore fell in love with a kitty! In case you've never been there first you pick the animal, then a big machine puts the stuffing in it and then you make a wish on a star, kiss the star and put it in the back of the animal and then zip it up and your done!
This was Avery's wish.
Of course he didn't tell
me what it was!
So after our animal making experience we took the kids to the play area in the mall to let more energy out! The kids had a really good time and so did Melinda and I.
