As a special treat on Maddie's last day of school we went to the Sweet's Candy Factory for a free tour with the Utah Kids Club. Jason's office is literally right across the street so we went and had lunch with him at work and then went over for the candy! It was really fun and very interesting. You get to sample some of the things that they make. We sampled a jellybean center, the orange sticks, and their famous taffy. Maddie's favorite part was watching them make the gummy bears and cinnamon bears. Emma's favorite part was watching them make the jellybeans. Both of the girls were a little disappointed that they didn't actually get to make the candy...just watch and eat. Afterwords we went into their little gift shop and picked up a few more pieces of candy. They loved it!
We had to wear these funny blue hats while we were in the factory. Emma frieked out and didn't want to make candy anymore. She eventually got over it and left it on the whole time.
Everybody say Candy!
Maddie took this picture of Emma and Me. I had to wear the gloves because I couldn't get my rings off of my fat, swollen fingers. They are serious about hygiene here! They gave each of us a bag of candy at the end of the tour.
Emma is holding the bag of loot we bought after the tour. It was a fun time and free!
