Some Weekend Fun in Denver

This is only like the third saturday that Wes has had off and we wanted to do something new and cool here, so we decided to hit up the Hammond Candy Factory for a tour of how they make their candy :).

It wasn't quite the peppermint place, but we had a lot of fun! Mckay loved watching the taffy get all stretched out on the turny stretchy thingy haha. I told him that was Grandma's favorite part :). It also didn't hurt his excitement that they gave us some free candy cane tree suckers that he proceeded to get all over his face on our way to the toy store!

We found this sweet toy store online that seemed like it had a lot of promise...and since we have a void left by Blikenstaff's toys in Orem, we had to check it out.  The Wizard's Chest actually turned out to be a weird mix of spencers and creepy World of Warcraft conventions, but outside was shaped like a castle and there was a magician so it wasn't a complete disappointment lol. It actually ended up being part of this HUGE indoor/outdoor mall in downtown Denver so we had a lot of fun walking around there until it started snowing on us :).

It was a fun filled day topped off with BYU crushing Idaho :).

Oh PS, I found a video of an earlier day version I described of the Thriller flash mob on Halloween. Imagine the first like 5 old folks up front after a long day of hanging out lol.  If you need a laugh :)
