Chicaho Trip: Day 3

Today we explored downtown Chicago. We went to the Hershey's Chocolate store. Inside the store we were able to pay to let Marc "run" the factory machine.After he cranked the wheel causing the lights to come on (picture above) he got to turn some other wheels and make all the candy dump out of the machine and into a bucket. The "factory supervisor" then put some of it on top of his hat.
He even got his own employee ID badge.After Marc got done being a factory worker, Samantha wanted to borrow his hat.Since Daddy helped Marc run the machine, he got a hat too.This is a picture of the candy he got in his bucket.We all had so much fun that I thought the kids needed a souvenir, that wouldn't disappear into our tummies, to remember how much fun we had. Since Marc loves cars, I found a Hershey's car for him....and a stuffed bear for Samantha.Enjoy the videos of Marc & Marc "making" candy. :)




After getting our chocolate fix, we headed over to Millenium Park. There was a corn maze that Marc lead the way out of.One of the biggest attractions in Millenium Park is a huge water fountain. There are 2 separate structures about 40 feet apart. There is continuous water flowing, so there is a couple of inches of standing water between the structures that kids like to play in. Every few minutes, water sprays out of the structures.We had a good last day in Chicago!
