Build A Bear "Pay Your Age"

Melissa, Violet, Lincoln and some of their friends headed to the mall for Build A Bear's "Pay Your Age" sales event not thinking it would be so popular.

When they got there, the line was pretty much wrapped around the mall. But since the store wasn't open yet, they didn't think it would take that long to get in the store.

After being in line for several hours, Lincoln had to have a break. Violet was adamant about staying. Even though there were some Facebook reports of fighting and unruly children, Melissa said that was not the case.

I hate to say how long she stood in line (9 hours!!!!) but Violet and Lincoln got their coveted Build A Bear animals. Now when people talk about the fiasco of the Build A Bear "Pay Your Age" sale, Melissa can say "I was there!"
