Yes, our Saturday was a bit unusual. We had a few places to go to. In the morning, Daddy was going to see his ex-coworkers from when he worked at Navistar. They were supposed to meet at Butterfield's Pancake House in Wheaton. We got there because we were so tired, and the kittens were serenading us during the night. It was around four in the morning when I got up, took the boys and to the basement they went. So, in a way I felt asleep at four. By the time we got to the restaurant all the seats were taken so I went back to the lady so she could add my name to the list for a table for you and me. I thought Daddy was going to eat with his friends, but there was no chair left. Everyone had come, including the ones that they did not think they would. So, Daddy said it was ok, and he sat with us which made you very happy anyway. We ordered our food, and it was ok. Nothing to celebrate about, and to be honest too expensive for just breakfast, but sometimes you need to try stuff, you never know when you are going to find the best meal ever.
After we finished eating we went to Petsmart (that was in the same lot) to buy for the kittens that we were going to see in Kenosha. And guess what? Petsmart had an adoption event going on. It was so cool. We saw lots of dogs and cats. We pet a few, and you were over the moon. You sure like cats (more than dogs). We picked a few things, and we were in our way to Kenosha.
Kathy, our friend that rescued two cat mamas with her babies, had told us that the Jelly Bean company was really closed to her house and she was not kidding. We decided to stop for a tour. You were so excited about that. We got a little train tour of the warehouse. I wish we could see the actual manufacturing, but that is only in CA. You were very happy to see the flying jelly belly. I was happy to see the artwork!
Arianna was happy to wear a hat...here we are in our way to the train. So hard to take a picture because she was running and was too excited!
This is the store after the tour is done. They do have a "jelly tasting table", but they give you one at a time, and there are only two employees, and too many people trying to taste the many different flavors. Mommy managed to taste the Tabasco one. Pretty accurate, but I don't think I could eat it again...
Daddy and Arianna are having fun trying to pick what kind to buy... Well, Daddy and Mommy were trying to choose because at the end of the day you only really like chocolate!
Saying goodbye to Jelly Bean Store!
Then, we went to see the kittens! They were so many, and they were so tiny. We had to be careful because they were still nursing. It is hard work, but amazing to see. It is great to see that people care to do it. Maybe one day we could, but for now we help as much as we can.
