Great pics. Just lookin at distance between ears, that looks like a pretty good "average size" bear. I would love to hear more of the story behind it.

Congrats!

That bear looks like it's more like at least a 4 or 5 yr old. Nice bear

Very nice bear, I agree that is better than your average bear. Congrats on being able to share your experience with the GF. It's always better when you are doing things together
