Summer Fun!

We are in Utah visiting. We miss our daddy who stayed home to work, but we are having fun.






Yesterday we went to the Bingham Copper Mine. What fun 15 kids and 4 women. Tera, mom, Heather and myself.


Today we went to the Sweets Candy Factory in SLC.
We saw them making raspberry sticks and this machine is called the Chocolate Enrober. The chocolate travels through pipes near the ceiling, near the pipes carrying the corn syrup.
We took a tour and no pictures because they want to preserve all of their secret recipes. We had a lot of fun with those same 15 kids - we were even brave enough to go without grandma's help.


Sour bears being tumbled and readied for packaging.
Call us crazy - 15 kids and three mommies in a candy factory.

This was the taffy roller. We got to sample their new flavor 'Cherry cola' . Matt will be jealous. This huge thing of taffy is rolled into smaller and smaller sections and cut and wrapped by the same machine. We also saw a large hunk of Neapolitan thrown into the roller to make 5000 a minute.

HAVING FUN IN UTAH !
