kid at heart.

What happened to the days of pure imagination? Where there were no worries about the consequences of actions? When curiosity may have killed the cat, but he always came back to life in that next episode of Tom & Jerry?

Oh right, I'm not 6 years old anymore.

But, I tried to get in touch with my inner child when my husband and I stumbled upon Teddy Bear World.

Much to my dismay, teddy bears are now in the section of childhood disappointments, along with Santa, the Easter Bunny, and lunchables.

Move over clowns, creepy has a new face!

Now, I may not be 6 years old but I do have the naivety of one sometimes, so when I saw the sign for Teddy Bear World I was honestly thinking Build-A-Bear (some may know this magical place of building your own personal bear).

I guess just as obvious as Build-A-Bears name is, Teddy Bear World was not kidding either.

A world of bears. Moving bears placed strategically in famous backdrops and times in history. They did not skimp on any details.

For example:

Here we have the White House lawn. Note again that these bears are moving... playing polo or whatever people do on the white house lawn.

Even better, please notice the bear peaking out from under the oval office desk. 

creepy alert.

I'm not going to lie... I was scared walking walking through "Bears in Dinosaur Land" 

mostly because bears, to my recollection, did not exist then.

And although I was thoroughly concerned that this place exists and the fact I paid $16 dollars to walk through the furry halls, Woody and I made the most of it! After all we are the tourists who fell in the bear trap! (all these puns!!)

Although I'm  considered an adult, every now and then it's funny to look back on the days where my biggest problems were learning how to fold notes to my friends or how to convince my mom that I had to have all my clothes from Limited Too!.  I still watch the Disney Channel and can sing every song in the movie "Thumbelina" (no shame.)

I'll never stop being a kid at heart. Just a girl with a new fear of teddy bears.

Have a beary good day ya'll!
