Vacation day 2

To answer Kasey's question, it absolutely was a time share pitch trip again. We love those! So in the morning we spent about 90 minutes listening to the sales pitch, but it went well and we didn't mind. In addition to the nicer villa, we also received $75 dollars in food credit and another 60 dollars cash.

So, we took full advantage of our "gift" and had lunch at local Alaska Pete's. Yum!

It didn't come to 50.00 though so we had to add some slices of cheesecake to take back to the fridge. Darn. ;)Out of order, but that night we used the rest and got 4 milkshakes and 3 more slices of cheesecake. We of course didn't eat it all that night, just the milkshakes. We enjoyed the cheesecakes in New York. Nice box, eh?

OK, back to day 2, we drove to a town with a great name, Grant's middle name,

What did we do in Easton, you ask? Here's a hint.

and another hint

We went to the Crayola Factory! It was so awesome! We had a great time and we took a lot of pictures, so hope you don't mind seeing a few (or a lot!).


Cool Giant crayon, eh?

Our favorite crayola colors are:

Christian-jungle green, vivid tangerine, and another shade of yellow.

Victoria's favorite color has always been pink until last week. Now it is blue.

My favorite color to wear is definitely black, but I enjoy looking at all colors. I prefer cool to warm colors and really liked some of the other colors I am touching- lavender, pacific blue, and razzle dazzle rose to name a few.

Danny's favorite color is "Carolina Blue", but the closest on this color wall was this one, cornflower. We wonder what Grant's favorite color will be. He is so laid back, he will probably say he likes them all and that will be the truth.

When we went to the Crayola factory, I was expecting a tour of the real factory, but it was more of a great children's museum. We did get to see how they make the crayons and markers though. Neat machines. The kids got samples of the crayons and markers that we saw them make. We got to sample a lot of their products too.

We were all big fans of their clay. Can't think of what it is called right now.

The chalk was fun too.

We tried out animation.

V made a giant sandwich

Christian took a break in a tube.

We all made paper bag puppets and blot painted butterflies. Christian's was in the drying oven.OK, so we didn't ALL make those things. Grant was sleeping for that part.Victoria and Christian and I had a blast with this part though! Fun with music, colors, and lights. We danced in front of a wall and our images/shadows played in front of us like a video. Hard to describe, but awesome!

Here's V.

The boy on the left is Christian.

Grant wasn't in the backpack the entire time. Here he is flying in the sky as a butterfly.

Speaking of flying, the time flew by there, but is not flying on this post. So, the rest of day 2 will have to be in another entry.
