Hammond's Candy Factory

So while Joseph was on Spring Break last week one of the fun things we did was take the Hammond's Candy Factory tour. It was interesting to learn about how they make their candy and even get to watch them roll some Lollipops out. Joseph was like a kid in a candy store the whole time. Hahahaha

Me and my sugar baby

Candy overload!!

Ice Castles

A few weeks ago we spent a great day in Breckenridge with friends. It was a perfect day with the sun shinning and it ended up being warm enough that we didn't even need our coats. We got up there before the Ice Castles opened so we had time to walk around town, have lunch at the Crepe cart which was some of the best food I have ever eaten, and then we went to the Ice Castles. The kids had a blast crawling through the ice tunnel, going down the slide and playing in the igloo. I had forgotten Joseph's snow pants, but that didn't stop him from having fun and getting completely soaked. I will have to remember that for next year.

Maddie's 3rd Birthday

We were so lucky that Sam, Nat and the kids were in town for Maddie's birthday. We had a wonderful weekend full of fun, laughter and lots of Princess's. On Saturday afternoon after Nat and I had put together this incredible Princess cake we went swimming at the Apex Center, which is this awesome indoor swimming pool, and once everyone had tired themselves out there we came home to have a family party for Maddie. We had Pizza, Root Beer, breadsticks and topped it off with Princess cake with Strawberry Ice Cream. We loved getting to spend time together and were very sad when they had to go home.
