<a href="http://www.ridemakerz.com/RZ/Default.aspx">RideMakerz,</a> the same people who bring us Build-a-Bear,, have created a unique store for your little guys (and girls, of course!).  <a href="http://www.ridemakerz.com/RZ/Default.aspx">RideMakerz</a> is &#8220;about the joy and fun of creating something great, something artistic, something  							unique and original&#8221;.

<p>We were invited to the store last weekend and given the VIP treatment. We got to go through the entire store, choose our own &#8220;rides&#8221; (yes, three of them!) and customize each of them.<span id="more-55238"></span></p>
<p>At RideMakerz you get to <em>CHOOZE, SONICIZE, MOTORIZE, MOBILIZE,</em></p>
<p><em> CUSTOMIZE, PERSONALIZE and CRUIZE™ one-of-a-kind RIDEZ. </em>They estimate that there are more than 649,000,000 combinations and they are consistently adding more (like the Corvette that is in the works right now!)</p>

<p>We had an absolute blast (can&#8217;t you tell?) and when we got home we continued to play&#8230;we attached the stickers to the Street-Rods and the Monster Truck upgrade, we pushed all of the fancy buttons, and we charged up the remote control. We even started daydreaming about the birthday party we are going to play for AJ.</p>
<p>Now, why am I telling you ALL of this? Well, <a href="http://www.ridemakerz.com/RZ/Default.aspx">RideMakerz</a> was kind enough to give me an <font color="#993300">EXTRA $75 gift card</font> to giveaway to one of you.</p>
