Reality Candy Land

Today we joined up with my friend Kim and her three kids and went on a tour of Hammond's Candy Factory in Denver. It was great! It was fun to show our kids how candy is made. I was especially pleased to introduce my kids to old-fashioned homemade candy since they think everything magically appears at the store.


Cutting candy canes...






I didn't get a shot of the conveyor belt with candies coming out of the production room, but I couldn't help but think of that one I Love Lucy episode... you know the one!


Did somebody say, "free samples"?!








Would you believe this was BEFORE she ate any candy? YIKES!

    Hey. I wanna see a picture of you with the hair net on. (Do they still make you wear hair nets when you take the tour?) :)

    Haha- I took my parents there last spring. It was really fun. But I did discover that I don't think I could hack it as a candy maker . . .
