Happy Jelly Belly-weeny!

Carving the pumpkins and telling "scary stories"

On our day off this week Josh and I drove an hour North-East to visit the Jelly Belly Factory.
It was everything we could have ever imagined and more....
John Wayne made of thousands of Jelly Bellys

Our favorite part of the tour was eating as many Jellies as you could for free!
I am pretty sure the ' Sample Bar' lady was not too happy when we kept getting back in line for more.
Popcorn, toasted marshamello, candy apple, cherry, lime, chocolate, coconut, pina colada, skunk, pencil shavings, watermelon, Root beer, birthday cake mix, 7up, blueberry, bubblegum, carmel corn, cinnamon, cotton candy, moldy cheese, french vanilla, grape crush, kiwi, juicy pear, orange, plum, pomegranite.... just to name a few we tried!
Going back for more. The "Sample Bar" lady slid out of our picture. I don't think that she could believe us.
So I was SOOOO excited when I saw what address I had to type into our GPS.
Jelly Belly Lane... Isn't that just the cutest?
So after touring the Jelly Belly Factory and driving back towards the freeway, we caught a glimpse of the Budweiser factory with a sign out front that read " Free Tours"
We decided to make it an official "Tour Day"

Before the tour everyone was told that they could have two beers each and that there was a Pepsi machine in the corner for the minors in the room.
Josh and I must have looked like minors as we filled our glasses instead with Diet Pepsi!
Our tour lady made us wear these awesome spectacles throughout the tour to prevent.......I am still trying to think of a good reason to wear these glasses.
While touring the building an alarm/siren went off. Ms. Tour Guide immediately grabbed her walky talky from her side holster and exclaimed (In a concerned tone), "Everyone back to the gift shop"
So we all walked back and then when we got there, she realized that it was a false alarm.
Ha ha, she LOVED her job and LOVED Budweiser.
Josh wanted a picture by the holding tanks.
Sometimes he reminds me of a little boy!
The Del Sol Crew wore costumes for not 1, not 2, but 3 days in a row!

The Shaw pumpkin patch!
Meet our friends, the Flinstones!

If we had a child, this is what he would look like....
minus the brown eyes and brown hair.
I think that we brought good tidings and great luck to our team cause they
WOOOOOONNN!!! WAHOOOOOOOOO!
Halloween Night
Amber and Howie treated us to a night full of :
Evil eyes
Blood Bath
Mummies in a Blanket
Graveyard Dip (Amber I forgot the name!)
And watched Hocus Pocus in the Twilight Zone!
