Peanut mountain

Today the kids and I rushed out the door so we wouldn't be late for our meeting with the manager of Jimbo's Jumbo's peanuts, we were meeting Nana, Ardes, Grammy and Grandpa Bill to take the tour of of the peanut processing plant. We got to see from the huge peanut mountain of raw nuts to the huge volkswagen sized bags full of shelled peanuts, through the process of salting, roasting, grinding, chopping and making peanut butter. The peanut butter from this plant goes in Ben and Jerry's ice cream, peanut butter cookies, etc. We had a great time, especially the part where we got to climb to the top of a 2-story high mountain of peanuts and body surf back down. Noah was a little hesitant at first, but he climbed up happily if I went with him. He seemed afraid of the height. Eden tossed peanuts around at the bottom of the mound, while Ami climbed up and down, up and down, diving headfirst downward to slide/surf to the bottom.
