Time is quickly running out for us in Cali and I still have activities on my to do list. Jelly belly is no longer one of them. Last Sunday we happened to be in Fairfield so I made Shawn stop at the Jelly Belly Factory to take the free tour of how Jelly Belly Beans are made. It was a lot of fun, and very insightful! :)
Bry was super excited about her hat...for about 2 minutes.
One of my main reasons for going was to get my sister a bag of belly flops (those are the jelly beans that don't look perfect, but still very tasty.) I am a very thoughtful sister and I know she has a sweet spot for Jelly Belly's, however they went up to $9 dollars a bag, and I'm NOT that thoughtful. But don't worry Lis we did manage to save you a free sample bag. :)
This Ronald Reagan picture is entirely made out of Jelly Beans, I thought it was so impressive!
(F.Y.I. He also had a sweet spot for the Belly Beans, and was the one who helped to make them famous. His favorite being blueberry,...i think. :)
Probably Brylie's favorite part of the afternoon was that Daddy let her have a picnic in the back of our car. She thought it was the coolest thing ever, and I was just super excited to find an Arbys, which are harder to come by out here...but I do love the curly fries. :)

AHHH!! Arby's?! You found an Arby's? I am so jealous. Have I ever told you that french fries are my biggest weekness? Well, curly fries are the BEST (worst) for me!! I miss them so much:) I am glad you made your way to the Jelly Belly factory! It really is a pretty fun time. But I am pretty sure it wasn't blueberry... maybe it was though. I thought it was licorice, no? Maybe you are right:) I don't remember. Those pictures are pretty awesome!!
Yes I think it was licorice too! I had a fun time going there too. Although, I think they could make the free tour a little more interesting for children. My kids got pretty bored after a few minutes. I'm glad you guys got to go.
Ok ok...I guess it may be possible I am wrong...although it does not happen very often, I do know that licorice is the second most popular...after very cherry and I'm positive I got that one right. :)
Very Cherry... maybe it was that one. I really don't remember! Ha ha... I am still just jealous that you had Arby's without me!
Love the picnic in the car.:)
Oh how fun! I have never been to the Jelly Belly Factory but it looks like a blast especially for little kids. Yeah picnic in the car is usually what my dad would have us do. The Ronald Reagan pic is hilarious. Love all the pics.
Yeah I found you guys! Blog stalking really is the best! :) Your family is so cute! I love the family pictures! Your girls are gorgeous! Shawn, you look so grown up! I guess that's about right cause we ARE getting old! :) And you really need to work on that farmers tan! Ha, only kidding. You guys are so cute and Ashley you are so skinny! You look awesome!

I love the jelly belly factory. Glad you guys went. can't believe we are all going home. Bitter sweet. I'll be calling you about that card group! :)
Hey Ashley! I found your blog off of Jen's. It looks like you guys had an awesome summer. This is so weird, but I kind of got to know Shawn's sister this summer, Syndi, and I feel like I know you guys better too!! I know I am weird. Anyway, hope you don't care if I check your blog out!!
OK, so I've sucked at checking blogs. First of all the sunset pictures at the lake, SO PRETTY! I wish I had taken them myself. :) Second of all, the Jelly Belly Factory brings back so many memories! I loved that place!
It looks like you had a fun summer, but I'm glad that you are home in Utah. I can't wait to see you.
