Trip to California

Lance had a preaching trip to California two weeks ago, so the whole family got to go with him. Thankfully our trip to California was much warmer than our trip to the Oregon Coast (See posting below). The whole time we were there it was in the mid to upper 70's! Here we are in Antioch California near the river. They have over 360 miles of riverways in this area so we go to take the boys to see the water.









There was a public fishing peer that we went out on and some people had just caught a fish when we got there. The guy let Boaz throw the fish back in the water for him. Boaz is always up for touching something gross and fishy!

The highlight of the trip for the boys was our tour of the Jelly Belly facotry! They thought it was just as good as Disneyland. There was candy everywhere, a free tasting bar, seeing how they make candy, etc. This picture that the boys are standing in front of is fully made of Jelly Bellies! It took about 10,000 to make!

Here is another picture of Ronald Regan. Antie Heidi would have loved it here, there were pictures of Ronald Regan everywhere! I didnt realize it, but Jelly Bellies were not a very big thing until Ronald Regan was elected as president. They were his favorite candy so the Jelly Bellies were discovered by the country and their business skyrocketed since. They have alot of Regan paraphailia since they owe their success to him.

After the tour we got to taste any flavors of Jelly Bellies that we wanted. Jacoby tried "Skunk" and Boaz tried "Ear Wax". The lady that led our tour said that she doesnt recommend trying the the skunk flavor because it sticks with you for a while, but Jacoby wanted to try it and then he just said "It tastes like coffee". Boaz really didnt even react to the ear wax, he just ate it and asked for more flavors.
