Candy and Cousins
Our niece and nephew are here visiting for the week. We are having a great time with them. Everyday we have done something fun. Today was the big Anthony Thomas candy store tour. I have always wanted to see it - and so all five kids and I headed out. They are a famous chocolate maker here in Columbus. We found out how the chocolates are made, saw it from start to finish - and even saw who they make it for (Nestle). We couldn't take pictures in the factory itself, but I got a few in the candy store. Even Mia enjoyed the tour - or maybe just the free buckeye candy at the end! The kids tried to convince me that I needed to buy the 225 lb buckeye...it was only $3400. Katy thought we could eat it in a week. Megan said a day. I'll let them settle that argument! Instead Aunt Stacy splurged for Buckeye pretzels and candy bars. They were all happy with that!

Yum! You're right about the Buckeye though ... it should be freshly made for that price!
Oh my word...that chocolate looks so divine! :-)
Oh my! I am so glad you get to spend time with your family.
The buckeye was $3500.
Ok I stand corrected - I looked up the picture and zoomed in. A 12 year old had to set his Aunt straight....
Sorry Matt....Hope you had a great trip home. The kids miss you already!
Girl, you're crazy taking 5 kids to a candy store. I hope you had some chocolate therapy of your own!
