Crayola Factory

Lorelei was excited when we went to get her up to head out on our trip in the morning. :)



After a long drive we finally made it to The Crayola Factory!!! (Eh hem, running an hour late for various reasons...but we made it.) We were only able to be there for an hour, but Lorelei really enjoyed all of the activities she could try out. We felt bad having to rush her along, but they were definitely ready to kick everyone out at 3 pm. They even gave us those 15 and 10 minute announcements. :) There were so many different places to explore she probably could have easily stayed for three hours. We enjoyed what we could though! Her favorite would definitely have to be the "After Dark" section where she could write on a board with a special light pen. We were a little disappointed with the actual "Crayola making" section, but we did catch a few minutes of it where we heard he makes about 1,250 crayons at a time. We all enjoyed the time as much as we could while we were there. :)



Then the store stays open an hour later so we got to see The Worlds Largest Crayon.



Then we headed off to our hotel to rest for the night before the really big adventure coming up.
Lorelei's favorite part of the hotel room was the phone. :)

Apparently we were a little slap happy on the drive up so I wrote down a couple of memorable moments. :) How thankful I am to have a wonderful husband to laugh with on these drives.

Brad, as we are driving into the sun: "At least we wont have to drive into the sun very much."
GPS Lady: "Continue 93 miles." :)

Eliz: "Maybe these school buses are going on a field trip."
Very grumpy by now because we were running late and made a wrong turn sarcastic Brad: "Yeah. To the Crayola Factory that closes at three."

Probably not as funny when you can't hear them, but we had fun anyway! Working on all the ways to organize the pics for Sesame Place. Plan to get the blog done during nap tomorrow!
