Palmer's Candy Shoppe

Last week we got to go to the candy shoppe.  Palmers has been around 

in Sioux City, Iowa for over 125 years.  Actually Palmers has the longest

span of family ownership and management of any candy company of it's 

size in the U.S.A.  When we are in Sioux City, Jon's mom tries to think

of fun and different things to do during our visit so we thought we'd go to

the candy shoppe, look at the old machinery, sit in on a little "tour", and buy

some candy.  Unfortunately, our day didn't turn out so great because Jon's

mom passed out and the ambulance had to be called.  She was taken to the

local hospital and had a bunch of tests done but they didn't find anything wrong

with her.  It was kinda scary.  She says she doesn't plan on setting foot in 

the candy shoppe any time soon.

Nathan had his eyes on these sticks for a long time.

Jojo wanted melting chocolate..........I had to explain to him that 

we could only use that for baking.
