Clayburn Village Store

One of the best things about having our Colorado grands here now is being able to experience the everyday things. I love picking up Natalie from Kindergarten once a week. When it was still nice we could go to the park or play in our backyard for a bit. Sometimes we stop at Tim Hortons for a donut and sometimes she comes over and we play rings on your fingers or snakes and ladders.




One day we went to the Clayburn Village Store . . . an old candy store and tea house combination . . . that we conveniently pass on our way home to our place.


 
It is a candy lover's heaven, I would say.

 
She made choices for herself and we also made up a little treat bag for her brother.


every flavor of jelly beans . . .



and every fun candy you can imagine.

Yesterday, when I picked her up, she was carrying a madarin orange box like it was made of crystal. She carefully set it down to show me what she had made. She opened the lid and in the box stood a little gingerbread house! A candy had fallen off and she said, "I think I should eat that one."

Press Control Shift at the same time. It fixes it. Happens all the time to me when I try to type faster than I actually can. :)
Cute little shop!

You must be thoroughly enjoying this time with your grandchildren. Your little one is sweeter than all that candy!

She looks so darling, peering into that candy jar. Oh to have the wonderment of a child! Regarding the fallen candy from the gingerbread house...no sense in letting one tasty morsel go to waste! Glad you're having fun with these precious little ones!

Those are the best times...I agree...I too look so forward to the days that I get to pick up the boys, and it's always a surprise snack.
The good thing is that you can pick her up after school next year and you can do that for many years to come.

So cute! Such a fun place to take Natalie...or any grand, for that matter.
