I got to visit the Crayola Factory! Easton, PA is only a half an hour from where I grew up. Every time I would visit the area I'd want to visit Crayola headquarters. But because of one thing or another I never got to visit. With Josh and I moving to Omaha in just about a month (time is flying!) I really wanted to visit before we left. And Summer's wedding was the perfect opportunity.
So on Sunday morning we headed to the land of crayons. They just recently completely redid their factory which was very exciting to see. This is not the actual factory where crayons are made but a four story interactive playground using crayons.
We obviously had to get pictures with the giant crayons.
There was more crayons in this place than I had ever seen before. It was so much fun to get to color.
We got to see how crayons are made. It's interesting how similar the process still is to the original process used a hundred years ago.
The world of coloring has definitely changed since 100 years ago though. You can now color on iPads.
And then project your image onto a screen! I thought Josh's cow was pretty awesome.
We had a lot of fun acting like big kids.
We may have been some of the only adults there without kids. You definitely don't have to be a kid to enjoy all there is to do there.
Like play around on an interactive floor.
And make fun spin arts by melting crayons.
I loved getting to personalize our own crayons.
And make our own markers in a seriously cool machine.
We worked up an appetite during our hours in the factory and decided to head across the street to a cute little cafe for lunch. I got a pineapple and avocado salad.
While Josh got a cheese, tomato, pesto, and guacamole wrap.
We also split an amazing Spanish cornbread topped with cheese.
It was such a fun day. I feel so lucky to have gotten to spend such a beautiful day with Josh. I am so appreciative for how good of a time we have when we're together, and that he loves being just as silly as I do. We've already talked about coming back to visit the Crayola Factory years in the future when we have kids of our own.
Question of the Day: What was your favorite crayon color growing up? I was a pink girl.
