I'm finally getting caught up!!! Yea! As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, my girlfriends and I decided that this summer we needed to keep our beloved little ones occupied (and exposed to culture) and go to some fun places together every week. Those days happen to be Wednesdays (no other appointments allowed Holly!). This week's field trip (oh yeah, teacher speak) was to Cerreta's Candy Factory. Looking back, I wish I had taken some pictures of the outside, but well, it's an old, brick building in downtown Phoenix- got the picture now? Thought so ;)
Addisen, Gabriel, McKenna, and Abby tasting some super-delicious, mint-covered, chocolate bars-
their samples are HUGE!
Abby really liked the milk chocolate creme covered in milk chocolate.
So they offer 'tours' at 10:00a and 1:00p, then afterwards you can pay a small fee to have your child make a chocolate pizza. They really need to rephrase (or redefine) what a 'tour' is. See, I thought tours were where you walk around in a group, like a bunch of tourists, seeing interesting things...you too? Yeah, not this 'tour'. We stood behind a short wall and listened to a lady ramble on and on and on, oh, and on about how they make chocolate. Great, except people might have actually retained some of that information had we been able to SEE what she was talking about. Enough complaining...once the 'tour' was over and the kiddos waited ever so patiently (really, they did!), they passed out all of the 'ingredients' and the kids got to work! It was SO cute and they had so much fun! Well worth the half hour 'tour' (although next time, I think I'll sneak in late...).
These kids held on to their 'Pizza Tickets' like it was the key to Candyland!
Here is Abby meticulously placing each M & M onto her pizza. Hmm, wonder where she gets that from?
Abby now believes chocolate is one of the major food groups, probably because she'd never been able to have that much in one day, let alone one sitting! YUMMY!!!

st too cute not to share! I love it!!! That is her completed 'pizza' in the background.
Starting her a little early on the chocolate addiction, huh? :)
ReplyDeletecouldn't wait to get home an catch up with this side of the family. Looks like you are having a great time!! Isnt it time to go the the M&M factory in Vegas. Just the place for little girls who like chocolate and of course there's something for mom and dad to do. Please keep Betty and her friends in your prayers. They have 7 more hot days in Africa and then she'll be home 7-15. Hopefully Air France doesn't mess up and delay again.
