The last few days


We were invited to a baby shower on the 9th. I thought that I would make the most of it, and scheduled a time to go to the Sweet's Candy Company. The hair nets were the funniest thing, Abbi thought it was awesome and Jesse's kept falling over his eyes. It was too cute for words, wish I would've been able to have my camera, but no camera's allowed in the factory. Abbi was excited for days before the tour to have the samples. As we started on to the tour, Abbi kept asking, Mom when are they gonna give out samples? Luckily they got to those, a few times! Chocolate covered raspberry sticks, taffy and jelly beans were some of the delectable treats. I dont even like chocolate sticks and these were good, being warm from the factory probably helped.
We then went to Val and Ruth's where the kids helped Grandpa set up the tent where the kids would be sleeping. Alona was really good at hammering the stakes in there. Kacen was trying so hard, he kept hitting his fingers though and decided to give Mom his hammer to finish it off.
Jesse's way of helping. Climb in the tent container, tip over and then climb back in.
The boys stayed and Played with the adults and cousin Kellie. While I took the girls
to Brittney's baby shower. Abbi's highlight of the whole event, getting a ducky on the back of her plate and winning a candle. It was a great Open house, really cute, with lots of thought put in to it.

The next day we all went to Cherry Hill
They have an awesome pirate ship
A fun play area for the kids
I got quite a few pictures of the end of our swimming adventure
Kacen and Jesse wanted Mommy to stay on the Lazy river for about the first hour and a half. They really liked it, they took turns riding with Grandpa and Mom and Kacen waited for the water to start squirting at him, it turns on every half hour to 40 min
