Next stop......Jelly Belly factory

Fairfield, Ca, was the Jelly Belly factory where we got a free tour of the factory, and a small bag of you guessed it, jelly beans! The girls really loved it! It was pretty interesting to watch and the factory smelled so good!! Of course no cameras were allowed inside the tour part of the factory. And we could not make it out without visiting the candy shop to indulge in our favorite flavors. I knew one of my girls was going to be one of those kids to go and pull on the release levers and let jelly beans fly everywhere, sure enough, Logan did not disappoint us! I felt so bad, but they had it swept up and thrown away in no time. Apparently it happens all the time, I found out when I offered to pay a little extra for her spilled beans. I tried to keep an eye on her, but she's a fast one!! And the candy is so darn distracting! Logan got to spin the "bean boozled" wheel and her jelly bean she landed on would either taste like juicy pear or boogers. She said it was like a pear....hope she wouldn't admit to recognizing the booger flavor! She got a fun sticker for that, and we all enjoyed free samples at the sample bar. If you are ever in the area, we would highly recommend this fun activity for your little ones!

Buffalo nickel mosaic (these were all so neat) they had many more inside the factory tour that we couldn't get pictures of. They said it takes about 6 months or so to make one.
