We went on a Field Trip yesterday with our local Home Educators Group to one of my favorite little tows 45 minutes away and had a blast! We first perused the Mountain Lion Exhibit being sponsored at a college. Of course in the hustle and bustle of shepherding five children out of the van and into the building I forgot the camera. But the kids and I (and the entire group of more than 25 kids and their parents) thoroughly enjoyed the mountain lion "bone clones" of their skulls, the fifty million times Leah pressed the buttons as we listened to the blood curdling mating calls of female mountain lions and other sounds they make, and looking at the taxidermied displays. Roman wanted to know how they died. Apparently they were roadkill.
After a nice picnic in the park where the kids got to release lots of pent up energy, we headed dowtown to a local soda bottling factory. To say the kids were entranced is an understatement. I had to drag Roman away from the bottling machines as he would probably still be standing there mesmerized by the swoosh-swoosh-swooshing of the Rootbeer as it poured into the bottles and the CLINK as the caps were sealed on. Afterwards the kids were allowed to pick out their favorite soda selection and then we headed back home.

It was a long, full day. Teagan was so tired that she fell asleep in the shower at 6:30 that night. Which is why we are both up at 5:30 this morning. But, I digress. It was a great day.

Soda... I want to go there. My kids are mesmerized by the doughnut machine at Krispy Kreme.
That sounds like a lot of fun! I love rootbeer! Roman is looking so big! I think it is the cutests thing when kids are so tired they fall asleep in the funniest places.
