Joey Bag a Donuts

Over the week, Kelly and Alissa kept talking about cinnamon rolls. We searched the internet for a local cinnamon roll place but didn't have any luck. When we got to Charleston, I again checked for a local place famous for their cinnamon rolls. Since I couldn't find anything, I decided to search for donuts. I found a nice looking family owned shop called Joey Bag a Donuts only a few miles from our hotel so we went there on our last morning of vacation. Ironically, there was a brand new CrossFit gym RIGHT next door to the donut shop so we had to stop in there to say hi as well.

Cason had never had a donut before. I know he has been given donut holes a few times at church but we have never bought him a donut before. Which is ironic since we live in Texas and there is a donut shop in almost every single strip of stores. I have never seen so many donut shops before I moved here. We started telling him on Sunday night that we were going to get a donut after breakfast and he was super excited.

When we walked in, Bryce walked over to the glass case where all the donuts were displayed and just paced back and forth saying "MMMMM!" over and over again at an increasingly loud volume. He didn't even know what they were, he just knew he wanted one. The shop owners just laughed and they were so excited when I pulled out my camera and they found out it was Cason's first donut.

For his first donut, Cason picked this one, yup that's Fruit Loops on top. They had all kinds of cereal topped donuts and some even had candy such as peanut butter cups on them.





We got Bryce a couple of donut holes which he thoroughly enjoyed.



Kelly wanted a classic glazed donut and I went with my favorite, cream filled with chocolate on top. Mine was so good, I had to have a second. The cream was absolutely perfect.



Cason ate most of his donut like this despite us repeatedly asking him to pick it up and not eat like a dog. I have to think that he just didn't want to get his hands dirty.









Eating donut holes and sitting on a bar stool at 14 months. Yup, the second child gets to do everything earlier than the first child did!
