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.
