Cousins

Several weekends ago, we drove out to greater Harrisburg to visit Tyler's favorite cousin and his wife.  We had so much fun!!  We haven't seen them for a while and were absolutely thrilled when we got the news that they'd be moving to Pennsylvania.  Derek got a job working at the Mars plant and he took us for a tour of the whole thing.  Did you want to know how a 3 Musketeers bar is made?  Well I could tell you.  We watched each step and even ate the nougat hot, right off the line!  YUM.

We also toured this amazing Masonic lodge and gardens and some great Amish country.  Those pictures, we discovered last night, were accidentally deleted. :(  So these are all that's left.  The get-up for the tour: hard hats, hair nets, protective eyewear, lab coats, and ear plugs.  We felt so awesome.  No pictures allowed inside the factory, so these are all in the lobby.  Caleb wasn't allowed since he couldn't quit get the outfit on, so Christie watched him and which was wonderful.  Upon exiting they gave us each a BOX full of Mars candies including a bunch of kinds I've never had before: Coconut M&Ms, Mint 3 Musketeers, Midnight Milky Way... there are so many varieties.  (My new favorite love, however is Pretzel M&Ms.)  It was so nice of them!

Can't wait to you guys again!  Here are the pictures (that are left...).
