We had a fun morning today, visiting a local chocolate factory for a tour. The kids were very excited to see the chocolate factory, one of their favorite books is Curious George Visits a chocolate factory. We met some new friends there, it's funny to see how the kids react to new people. Things change quickly, but right now Dawson was glued to my leg, hanging on for dear life. Ava made all sorts of friends and Carter said "Don't worry Mom, I'm going to watch all the kids for you." He was the oldest child there, and he did keep an eye out for all the little kids!
A chocolate factory decorated for christmas? Must be pretty close to heaven!
But anyways, the chocolate factory. On the way there, I was discussing with Carter how he was not allowed to eat any of the chocolate there, that it was all processed with peanuts. But I had a pack of Hershey's in my purse that he was welcome to have. Ava then asked me what chocolate she was going to have. I told her she could have the chocolate from the factory. She burst into tears and started crying "but I don't want to eat peanuts! Please don't make me!"
It's funny how she has already picked up on the whole peanut allergy thing, but when push came to shove and she was offered a cherry cordial processed with peanuts she gobbled it down.
The kids loved looking at the big vats of chocolate, the white pipes running the length of the factory with liquid chocolate running through them. I thought it was interesting learning how they make the gigantic chocolate bunnies and santas.
