Candy and Space

Thursday, August 12


We had another fun day. It's been nice to have these little day trips. We started off our afternoon by going to the Sweet Candy Factory tour in Salt Lake. We weren't able to take any pictures inside, and we forgot to take one outside. Oops. But the boys had a blast on the tour. They loved seeing how taffy was made. Kevin liked walking into the room where they covered the orange sticks in chocolate. And the samples were delicious!


After our sugar rush we headed to the Clark Planetarium for some space fun. We were amazed at the scale-sized planets they had. We didn't realized how much bigger Jupiter and Saturn were then everything else.
Zachary kept yelling "planet, planet!" everytime he saw something. They loved the rockets and the astronaut gear.

Ryan even saw some M&M's packed in one of the meals they eat on the shuttle. But the best part was the landscapes of the moon and Mars. The kids had a great time pretending to be out in space.
