Goodbye Summer

This past Labor Day weekend Ryan planned a super fun road trip for our family. All he told us was that there would be a beach and a chocolate waterfall. I was so confused, but it sounded like an interesting combination. The first stop we went to was the Albanese Candy Factory. We got to watch them making gummy bears, that were the best I have ever tasted. They even have a 32 foot tall chocolate waterfall...and yes it really is chocolate. Here is a video of it.

The next stop was at a place called Indiana Dunes State Park. It is on Lake Michigan and it has the best beach ever. The water was the perfect temperature. I loved that is felt like I was in the ocean, but did not have to deal with salt water. It was really hot that day so we were really happy that we were at a beach. Cambridge had a lot of fun burying Ryan and having his feet buried. Our fun was cut short by a really bad thunderstorm, but we had a good 4 hours on the beach.

Brody was a little reluctant to get dirty in the sand, but he ended up loving it.

It was such a fun trip it is too bad that we have never been up there before. We will back as soon as it warms up again.
