Last Saturday, we journeyed out to Hershey, PA with some visiting friends. We had a fun time in Chocolate World. We went on a little ride that explains how chocolate is made with singing cows, conveyor belts, candy, and chocolate aroma filling the air. The boys were put to work at Hershey's Kiss Works...well sort. We then went on a tour of the town in a bus/trolley and caught a driveby view of the factory and of the Hershey house. We also saw the giant hershey kisses on top of the lamp posts along Hershey street. 
One of the sweetest moments of the day was when Aaron and Connor got their picture taken with Santa. And instead of giving out candy canes, can you guess what the boys got?....chocolate kisses of course. I asked Aaron if he remembered to say thank you and merry christmas to Santa. So he gingerly walked up to Santa and wished him a Merry Christmas and then gave him a big hug. Now this was one of the sweetest Santa's that I've seen in a long time. And his little helper...I would call her Mrs. Claus was touched by Aaron's kind gesture. I guess not too many kids give Santa a big hug and wish him "Merry Christmas!" 
There was no line at all to see Santa so the boys got to enjoy a few minutes with him. Aaron was trying to recite his entire wish list as Connor made sure to get his request for a boogie board in.

Fun pictures! Thanks for the great time!
Oh, the aroma!! We toured the Ghiradelli factory in San Fransisco and one tends to contemplate jumping into the vats full of chocolate.
THAT looks like a wonderful activity!!
What a fun trip to go to the Hershey factory. Enjoy the chocolate--life without it, I just don't want to think about it.
