Nocona...

Early last week, we loaded up the boys with a few buddies and took them a few towns over to tour the Nocona Ball Glove Factory.

What a fun little afternoon we had! We had a few minutes before our tour began, and so when we walked in and saw an entire wall of Nocona baseball gloves, the boys immediately began trying them on and picking our their very favorites. At one o'clock, we were greeted and told the history of how Nocona leather products was created, how they came up with the unique spelling, and we even got to see some of the very first football helmets and gloves they made.

Next, they took us back into the factory so that we could see the entire process of glove making. I think are like 30 something steps! Remi was amazed by the embroidery machine- he said it was one of the smartest machines he'd ever seen! From the cutting of the leather, to the stamping, the lacing and all the to breaking the glove in, it was awesome to get to see behind the scenes!
