Friends Preschool took yet another field trip (we sure are adventurous lately!) to a local bread company. This time all the big kids were off of school, so we had quite the crowd. It was so awesome!
Our guide spoke to us about what they make their bread out of, how they make it, & then they each got to make their own "loaf". Here they are making their creations.
A lot of them opted for the "witch's finger" shape that they had been making specifically for Halloween. Rebecca's was a heart of course. :)
Ellie & Teresa were mostly restrained but still managed to have a marvelous time with each other. 
She showed them the wheat stalks.
She showed them how they grind the wheat berries into flour.
We watched the bakers make a batch of delicious looking spinach, red pepper, & Swiss loaves. Mmm. 
Unfortunately, they weren't baked before we had to leave. Looks like we'll be going back soon! 
She demonstrated how their humongous oven works with multiple timers. I think I need one of those super duper timers!
Afterwards we enjoyed lunch & fun at the park with Meg's family.
At home we devoured our "spooky spider" cinnamon chip bread & a FREE loaf of Honey Wheat. Delicious!
Each kid received a pencil & some wheat berries to bring home. We planted ours & stuck them in the windowsill. Here's what we saw just 6 days later!
You are such a good mama! I love seeing all you do with your children! Gives me some great ideas ;^)
