Yesterday's Field Trip

Yesterday Hannah's preschool took a field trip to the Albertson's bakery. Apparently Albertson's is the only grocery store on the island that still makes their own bread. The tour was perfect. We saw about 5 different things and each for only a short time (about the attention span of a 3 year old).

Our tour started at the seafood counter with the fish guy. This was my favorite part of the tour. Here's "Captain Jack" showing us a fish.

Then we got to walk into the big walk-in freezer. Hannah opted not to go because it was cold. Then we went and saw the bread guy put some loaves in the big oven and he also showed us the bread slicer.

Last on the tour was the cake lady. The kids were pretty engaged with this part of the tour. She had huge (I mean HUGE) bowl of frosting and she frosted/decorated the cake right in front of us. There are two pictures of this below. Notice how in the first picture there is a nice semicircle around the decorator, but in the second picture the kids are right next to the counter.

After the tour was over they gave each kid a goodie bag, which included a banana, water, nutragrain bar, and a coloring sheet. Yay for healthy treats. However they did send the decorated cake back to preschool with the kids. I had a bite when I went to pick up Hannah and it was tasty (as tasty as a white cake with white frosting can be :-p) I was glad that I had pushed my doctor's appointment back 15 minutes so I could attend the field trip. It was a really fun activity for the kids and the adults.
