The Crayola Factory

On Labor Day, we headed up to Easton for a trip to the Crayola Factory. The drive was beautiful (right up 611 North along the Delaware River) with lots of nurseries and old stone houses with tons of flowers. Ella watched her new George movie, which made for a peaceful drive for Rob and me.

The factory was a lot of fun and luckily it was not crowded, so were able to move around the activities easily. Ella enjoyed making things out of the new Model Magic, finger painting, and making a sea horse. She also liked pushing the little shopping cart around the gift shop and filling her cart with things she wanted to buy. I loved everything about the factory and could have spent all day there coloring and making projects! I think Rob's favorite part was the Glow Station where we drew on big screens and made glow-in-the-dark pictures.
