Ride Makerz is the vehicle version of Build-A-Bear (they are owned by the same company). It is every little boys' dream shop where you walk in, pick your "body style", and customize your own car (or truck). There are only four locations in the county, including one in Disneyland and one in, you guessed it--Branson, MO!
Our first visit to Ride Makerz was three years ago when I was pregnant with Davis & Carter was just a toddler. This was the first time Sean got to go, so he and Davis had a blast seeing the store for the first time together. Carter had already picked out his "ride" before we got there...he knew exactly what he wanted from looking online http://ridemakerz.com/, and didn't waver a bit.
To our surprise, Davis chose Lightening McQueen instead of Mater. He loves that his new Lightening can talk.
Picking out the wheels...
Davis was so excited to build his car! It is amazing to me how seeing your kids happy is one of the greatest joys of parenthood. We were thrilled to be able to do this with our boys & told them this was a special treat since we were on vacation (And most people do not consider a trip to Missouri in late Summer a vacation, people!). Anyway, what a treat it was!
Carter picking out his rims...so many choices!
My three boys share a love of cars. Mommy was just along for the ride...
So many choices!
We finally have all our parts and are ready to assemble our cars. I love how happy Sean is in all of these photos. This was a fun day for little boys AND big boys.
Both boys needed a little help with the tools.
Testing out the new wheels! We got RC cars this time, so they could really race. Sean said that if he hadn't just gotten his Karmann Ghia, he would have built one too!
Leaving with our cars in their garage boxes. We will be back next time we are in Branson! Just for fun, here is the link to our First trip to Ride Makerz. Look how little Carter is!
