Mom likes this candy store just as much, if not more than, the kiddos!  They have a HUGE variety of their gummy bears as well as a large selection of other candies.

Big Four Bridge

This is such a cool place!  Free to enter the park.  Beautiful scenery, you can go down to the water's edge (if careful) and there is a walking trail that connects to the Greenway trails.
