As we were passing through Vegas, and Rexton was not at all happy about being in the car still, we decided to stop and take the tour of the EthelM factory. Debby had never been there before either, so that was another plus.
The kids got distracted in the M&M World store before we could get to the entrance of the tour, but we finally got them all past the M&M themed merchandise and on to the tour. Check out all those huge bowls and mixers!
Debby wanted a picture with some chocolates. If you look closely you can see a tray of white chocolates on the belt behind her.
After we finished the tour we walked around the EthelM store for a bit. We had samples of some pecan brittle that was oh so yummy. It was soft and crumbly and just melted in the mouth, so we had to buy some. We also bought a half price box of Valentine chocolate. EthelM chocolates have gotten quite expensive, they are $2 a piece now, and so they no longer give samples of their chocolates, so we figured buying the half price Valentine chocolates was our best chance at buying a variety of their chocolates to try without paying $2 for each piece!
We then headed back over to the M&M World store. I wanted to get some green M earrings to go with my green M shirt, and we needed a new shirt for Jeremy since he outgrew the last one we got. We also got some raspberry M&Ms. Adam didn’t want to share.
Debby decided that she was going to go back to the van to try to feed Rexton and so we took the kids for a walk around the cactus garden to give her some time to take care of Rexton.
There were lots of different cactus and pretty rocks to look at, but when we felt that Debby had had plenty of time to take care of Rexton and we were anxious to be getting back on the road, we headed back to the van.
