One weekend, while Pete was out of town, I took the kids to the chocolate festival in Versoix. They sample lots of chocolate, including some yummy fondue. Their favorite part of the festival was the construction of a ginormous chocolate Easter bunny. It was going to be 5 meters (about 16 1/2 feet) tall when finished and the next day the local hockey team was coming over to break it with hockey sticks and pass out chocolate to the public. Alex and Ruby were mesmerized and wanted to keep watching until it was finished.

There were also lots of displays of chocolate-all with a circus theme

She was nice enough to pass on her pictures to me so the kids could see the final product.
