"I always wondered how people could say. " I love you" to people they don't even know, but now I realize that we all knew each other well a long time before. We're really just finally meeting up with old friends. "

Hammon's Candy

The other weekend we went down to Denver to hang out with the Kotters. We went on a tour of Hammons Candy-yum yum.

Going on tours is fun. So this picture above is where they make the candy. They really only have 9 workers who make te candy. They hand pull it, cut it, and shape it. It takes almost 2 years for these employees to master this candy making.
They produce around 2000 pound a day. In a room next door they package and box up the candy.

I just think it would be so hard to make each candy cane the same size, no wonder it takes 2 years to master.
It was so much fun to go back down and visit the Kotters. And be with friends. Tours are so much fun-free ones are better of course- but thier fun. Going here make me really want to go back to Rexburg and take advantage of everything that they offer.
