Our week of school vacation is winding down, so this morning, since it was raining, I took the girls to Fairfield to tour the Jelly Belly Factory. We were accompanied by Meigan's preschool buddy Pascale, her Mom Jean and baby Noemie. We had a very fun time touring the plant, seeing how they are made, smelling the intense lemon scent of the lemon jellybeans, and best of all..was the FREE candy at the end and tasting many of the flavors! I held out hopes for Meigan taking a nap on the way home, but that was foiled, since the sugar rush of a kazillion jellybeans kicked in! Lunch was something, as you'll see from the picture...a jellybean shaped cheese pizza! pretty creative thinking!

We got special hats for the tour.........
