What I Love Most Today is the Jelly Belly Factory!!!

Guess what the top three flavors of these Jelly Bellies are?  Give up?  They are: Very Cherry, Buttered Popcorn and Licorice!!!  I never would have guessed that Licorice would be in the top three most popular!!

During school breaks I'm always trying to think of fun things to do with the kiddos.  So my sister in law, Kerri and I decided to get the kids in the car and give the kids a surprise.

We didn't tell them where we were going until they figured it out on their own.  We just said it would be a "sweet adventure."  :)  And it is pretty sweet there at that factory.  Besides driving an hour away the walk and tour are totally free and you get lots of free Jelly Bellies.
 

 
Of course they had a sample bar where thousands of kids stand in line everyday to pick their ten favorite flavors for free.
 
The most popular Jelly Belly piece of art.  Elvis Presley.  Who knew?
 
Finally starting the tour...
 
Hats are mandatory on the tour.  They just want everybody to represent...
 
 
 
The kids have picked their buddies...
 
 
The kids could have watched this robot move boxes of Jelly Bellies all day long.
 
On our tour they were making Bubble Gum Jelly Bellies.  It's smelled so good.  The tour guide pointed out that we should be thankful for the good smell, because when they are making the "skunk" flavor or "barf" flavors it doesn't smell so good.  Yes, thank you for pointing that out tour guide.  :)
 
 
 
 
This was so funny.  Just as I take this cute picture, Summer starts to gag.  She ate a nasty Jelly Belly that happened to be their newest flavor...Tobacco!!!!!!  Nasty!!!!!  Poor Summer.  ;(
 
The wall of over one hundred flavors.
 
She's about to become a real live thief.  Luckily her mom helped her "resist" the temptation.  :)
 
Two of my favorite things; California and Butter Popcorn flavor beans...
 
Red, White and Blue for the Jelly Belly in you!




What a fun filled day!!! What I Love Most Today is the Jelly Belly Factory!!!
