Valentine's Day

This year's Valentine's Day was probably one of the best I've had. As a family, we toured a candy factory, went and played/walked around the mall and had a fondue night. It was a great day to spend real quality time with my little family. It was relaxing and fun and wasn't a fortune.

Hammond's Candy Factory has a free tour. We watched them make a couple different flavors of candy cane swirls. It was the first time Dan and I had toured a factory.
Here is a guy starting to make the candy cane.

Putting the pieces together...

Look at that big slab of candy! It weighs up to 60 pounds!

Then they put it on a conveyer belt thingy and roll it and cut it out to the right size.

Orson missed the whole tour because he was sleeping. Oh well, he'll appreciate it more when he's older anyway.

Chocolate Bunnies for Easter

They do Art Candy at Hammond's that go with the season. This is a four-leaf clover for St. Patty's Day. I thought it was awesome.

Orson woke up just in time for the free "oops" candy at the end of the tour. :)

We love lollipops. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head. (no joke!)



At the Flat Irons Mall, they have a dino land for kids. Orson had a blast crawling around everywhere! I keep taking him back because it gets all his wiggles out.




Everyone has fun on Fondue Night!

Orson is eating a banana in his teething pouch and is happy to be apart of the fun!
