Before continuing on our journey to Grandpa & Grandma’s house we decided to take the kids on the tour of the Ethel M chocolate factory in Henderson, Nevada. The kids had a great time looking through the windows and watching the employees make the chocolates. Then we got to have a sample of chocolate. But Kyle and I were somewhat dissapointed in the chocolates in the store. Last time we went to the factory we got to have a sample of any one of the chocolates they had there. This time we got a solid chocolate coin, and all the individual chocolates cost $2 a piece! There was no way we were going to buy chocolates for that kind of money, give me See’s any day. 😉 Before heading back to the car, we went over to the M&M’s World store and we got M&M shirts for the whole family. Jeremy really wanted an M&M dispenser, and he got super lucky because they were doing a special that if you spent a certain amount of money, you get the dispenser free. THEN he wanted M&M’s for it. Go figure. Well again he got lucky. The cute ladies that worked there, gave each of the kids some M&M’s from a bag that they had to pass out samples from, then she quickly and quietly slipped me the rest of the bag. 😀 Purple M&M’s, how did she know that purple is my favorite color? 😉 And we got to try some coconut M&M’s. Oh they were so good!
This sign was hanging from the ceiling in the factory:
Now I think it’s time to go eat some purple M&Ms. 😉
