Day 3 of Mom's visit

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to posting. School started up and I kind of fall of the radar for the first few weeks. Anyway, back to the summer (ah...chilly bliss!)

We stayed a little closer to home on day 3, after all, we were still kind of tuckered out from day 2. Our first stop was the "Chocolate Factory" (AKA Alaska Wildberry Products in Anchorage).

We began with a tour of the kitchen, complete with hair nets (and beard net). My favorite part? The samples, of course!

After filling a bag with 2 pounds of Jelly Belly's, we posed for pics in front of the Chocolate "Waterfall" that flows with 3,400 pounds of chocolate! Here we are sporting a 10 pound bar of chocolate.
After hanging out at Wildberry Products, we crossed the street to eat lunch in a "gold mine" called Sourdough Mining Company. We LOVE that restaurant. Great corn fritters...YUM! (insert a photo of the Cook family drooling). We followed lunch up with a trip to the Bear and Raven Experience Theater. We watched a movie about the Iditarod and on about bears. Then the girls took part in some adventures! Haley and Riley caught a virtual 35 pound king salmon. We then hopped into a "hot air balloon" and "floated" over the Prince William Sound. The girls then put on their parkas and "mushed" their little doggies!

We ended the day with new haircuts for Haley and Riley.

Now these girls are going to look sharp for the new school year!
