Cotton Candy

The kids were begging to try cotton candy. They'd never had it before and had high hopes for how magical it would be. We search the internet to find a place that offers real cotton candy (not a bag from a gas station) and finally found it at a funky new pizza place about as far from our house as you can be and still be in Austin.

It started out pretty magical! A big dramatic cloud of sugar!  A fantastical shape. What more could a 5 year old want?

First taste...

"DISGUSTING!"

Totaly meltdown. Dreams crushed. Will to live gone. No hope, ever again!

Louis was a little freaked out by the texture but had a better reaction to the sugary sweetness.
