Today we decided to get out of the house and have a day trip together as a family.  We drove up to the temple and let the kids walk around, and then we drove up into Wisconsin to go on a Jelly Belly factory tour.  Before doing that, we drove around Kenosha Wisconsin looking for a place to eat and found a place with some of the best food EVER!  It was called Jack’s Cozy Cafe and was really a dump from the outside (and kind of dumpy inside), but we just loved the food!

Most of us got breakfast food, and the signature Brezza that I got (Croissant Crust topped with sausage gravy, two cheeses, sausage, bacon or ham with onions, green peppers & mushrooms) was to die for.  The huge homemade cinnamon rolls were awesome too!  The owners came out and chatted with us, and we got to give our complements to the chef.  If you’re ever in Kenosha, here’s the link:  http://www.jackscozycafe.webs.com.  Well worth it!

We then went over to the Jelly Belly factory and did the tour.  We had a lot of fun there and the kids really enjoyed it.  I think the last time we did that, Zach and Ben weren’t even around.  🙂  We had fun and made a lot of noise (when we were supposed to) on the little train car that took us around the place.

After the tour, we went into the Jelly Belly store and bought a TON of belly flops and other candy that was pretty cheap!  We also sampled a lot of jelly beans in crazy flavors from pencil shavings, to barf, to dirt and grass.  Here’s the list:  http://www.jellybelly.com/fun_stuff/flavor_guides.aspx

I think we ended up with something like 35 pounds of stuff!   This will make GREAT Christmas and other presents!  🙂

This evening, Brittany had a PIT party for Marching Band.  Although Marching Band has been over for awhile, they still want to get together and have a great time!  Go PIT!
