Candy Factory

The older kids went on a tour of the candy factory.   I was happy that Julia made the cut of older kid that could go.  They thought it was really neat and they came home with prized candy bags.

They watched how they made fruit snacks with Bible quotes on them.   We stuffed our pants with defective jelly beans.  Huge containers of concrete mixers with Jelly Beans all separated by colors.  They watched them be made and put in packages.  There was a trash can full of defective bags of fruit snacks.  Brayden said that they weren't really defective, they just had the print cut off on the package.  He saw all the defective ones in a trash can and was tempted to scoop them up and put them in his pocket.  On the way home they had no water and they were dying because they had eaten a lot of candy.  They came home with Goody bags filled with candy. 

We heard the neat thing to watch is when they make candy canes, but they weren't doing those that day.
