We took a trip to a local candy factory. On our way, as I listened the kid's excitement, it was clear to me that they were anticipating a "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" experience. In fact, Olivia said, "Mom, if they ask me to eat grape gum, I will say no because I don't want to blow up into a big grape." Cute.
It was so much fun to see all of the candy, how it is made and try a few flavors. It really was fascinating. When we arrived at home, Addison asked if she could make some candy (pink suckers). So, we gave it a try. It was our first attempt at making candy and probably our last. :) It was a messy, sticky process. But, in the end she was very proud of herself.
