FIELD TRIP NUMERO UNO
Piper's pre-school class had their first field trip this past week...to the 'Pizza Ranch'...I know, I know, It's not the Smithsonian or the Guggie, but she is four so we'll let it slide this time! In fact, it turned out to be rather an enjoyable trip, after all, who doesn't like baking their own pizzas at 9.30 in the morning! Piper was a little downcast because she didn't ride the bus with the other kids, but since we had Paisley along for the ride I was able to explain that it would be safer for all three of us if we went in the car.
The pizza guy
the massive mixer was mesmerizing

the fridge....brrr, still...not as cold as outside ironically!

The kids split into two teams to do kitchen duty, the pizza guys were really fun and taught the children all about how pizza is made...y'know, so our kids don't think there is a magical 'pizza fairy' that knocks on our door once a week with a big brown box! They saw how ingredients were measured, dough was mixed, rolled and spiked(the boys all seemed to like the medieval tool that had that job!)...then the children got to make their own little pizzas...put them in the oven and watch them come out!

mmmm...pizza good

more?...MORE!

a smile for mummy!

What fun and what a cool first field trip. We never did a cool field trip like that when I was in school! Those little whipper snappers of yours have it so much better than when we were in school...(insert walking to school in 3 feet of snow banter here).
