Jelly Belly Factory

Did you all have a nice weekend? Thursday and Friday were so beautiful, hitting 84 degrees and sunny! We took advantage of this Friday evening and ordered pizza with our neighbors, sat around the firepit while the kids all played. Unfortunately it started thunderstorming at 8am Saturday morning so any plans to get yardwork done or go somewhere fun outside were cancelled!

We decided to try out the Jelly Belly Factory in Pleasant Prairie, WI. It's right on the border and about a half hour from here. Basically you ride a little train/tram around the warehouse, stopping every few feet to watch another video about how the JB's are made. You wear a paper hat, the train whistles, and you do get a free bag of jelly belly's at the end! It's totally free, so I'm not complaining. I thought there'd be a little more to it, but the kids actually liked it and payed attention for the most part.

Pardon how horrible the pics are, I forgot my flash and I think shooting on 'auto mode' basically makes your pics turn out like junk.

Afterwards the girls were being so good we decided to take them to chuck e cheese for pizza/games. After a week being stuck at home (we still are waiting on our car to arrive from Italy so D takes the one to work every day) they deserved some fun. We had a great time!

It rained again, better yet POURED, all day Sunday so we did not get to try out any more churches. With Derrick's current sinus infection plus the rain it was just better to stick it at home for the day.

Enjoy your week!!!!
