Vermont Teddy Bear

We skied two days, took a day off, and then we skied again. On our day off, we drove 30 minutes up to Burlington to visit the Vermont Teddy Bear Company. The kids loved it, and the factory tour was very interesting.

Here is the entrance to the store and factory.

The company was created when a dad discovered his kids' teddy bears were not made in the United States and decided to change that.

We loved the large bears!

Some were massive!

This is what the kids convinced Edward to bring home. These must be pretty popular because they sold two more while we were at the store.

The boys are in love with this bear, now named Stowe. They lie on him like this, as I captured in the living room of the townhouse we stayed in...imagine packing that in the car!
