| Look familiar? These handmade goodies have been found at Nordstrom's, Dean & Deluca, Crate & Barrel, Cracker Barrel, Williams-Sonoma and Whole Foods. We were excited to find out that the candy factory offers free tours and immediately planned a visit with the kids. |
 |
| Fun hats we all got to wear along with the tour. |
 |
| Ava being doted on by all the "big" kids while we wait for the tour to begin. |
 |
| Video introduction to Hammond's. |
 |
| They didn't stay seated this nicely throughout the entire video - but they made a good initial effort :) |
 |
| Floor time for Ava. |
 |
| Watching the candy being made. |
 |
| Good thing it was a rather short tour! |
 |
| The famous Christmas candy canes. |
 |
| Marshmallows being packaged. |
 |
| Of course the tour spills you into the candy shop! |
 |
| Free candy canes given out at the end of the tour. Don't you worry, the one Ava is playing with is still wrapped. |
 |
| All the kids added their stickers to the "sticker" sign before we headed off for the park. |
 |
| After the candy factory, we stopped off at Westminster Center Park just north of Denver for a picnic lunch and some play time...much needed apparently! :) |
 |
| Jameson just loves playing in the water... |
 |
| ...and laying in the water. |
 |
| Sadly, I had no idea he'd be getting this wet so I didn't pack a swim diaper, swim suit or change of clothes. What was I thinking?!?! |
 |
| Running through "Peter Pan Park" (the nickname given by locals to Westminster Center Park). |
