We all called my grandfather Boogs, sometimes Boogie (the oo makes the sound like in book). It's a long story, but that was what his grand kids and great grand kids called him. My mom had the idea for all the great grand kids to go to Build a Bear to build a bear to remind them of their Boogs. I thought it was a great idea (especially for my kids who loooove their stuffed animals)!
Finished bears!
Grayson's Boogie Bear
Brayden's Navy bear, because Boogs was in the Navy
Kennan's surf bear, because Boogs liked to call people Dude
All of the bears!!!
What a fun memory for the kids!
