My wife and my youngest son are gone for a few days, so I took my 5-year-old to Blue Sun Soda Shop with me after school yesterday. We hadn't been there since they added on:

| Looking in to Blue Sun's NEW ADDITION! | 
 At the end of the carpet in that photo above (under the blue trim), there used to be a wall. Now it looks into 3 other rooms: the first is an odd transitional room with a few soda shelves, the second has some pinball machines and an old truck, and the third is the biggest and is full of candy!
  | 
| My son played a dozen games of FREE pinball (3 free machines, and 1 that's a quarter). | 
  | 
| Self-explanatory.  | 
  | 
| The new candy room addition. | 
  | 
| More of the candy room from the back corner. | 
  | 
| We love Cow Tales in this household! Happy to see this. | 
  | 
Back in the "soda" part of the store, they had an end cap with all "Christmas-related" sodas. 
I grabbed a bottle of the white "Candy Cane Shake." Will probably be gross. But that's OK. | 
  | 
| ALL root beer. After picking this over yesterday, I *think* I've had (or just purchased) all of these. Really. | 
  | 
| Henry by the old truck loaded with soda. There's a room behind the truck that still needs to be finished. | 
  | 
| "Fancy" sodas that cost a bit more. I grabbed a red one on the left which was made in Germany. | 
  | 
| Some of their Minnesota-made "Whistler" bottles. | 
  | 
| Henry thought all the orange sodas looked tasty! | 
  | 
| They had an artist painting parts of the new addition outside. | 
  | 
Henry eating a marshmallow treat, with "mini sodas" in his lap. 
(And yes, I pulled his buckle up before we drove off.) | 
  | 
My receipt. The $4.29 bottle was the German soda. With the case discount, it was 
about $2/bottle on average (under $2/bottle ave without the German soda). | 
  | 
| My 26 sodas at home. Almost half are root beer or sarsaparilla, and the rest are random.  | 
Alright, time for some sugary deliciousness!!
