Fire Station and Lunch

Grady's class has done some great field trips this year.  A couple weeks ago they went to the fire station and then out to lunch.  I love that they go out to lunch several times during the year, a d they learn about manners, ordering for yourself, etc.  Got to love how much they focus on those practical life skills!

They started at the fire station, where they had a tour

Then they headed to a local restaurant, where they got to go in the kitchen and actually prepare lunch for themselves!  Grady loved it and even insisted on the whole family going back for dinner, which we did this week.  Of course they remembered him!

They prepared salad and got to choose what they put on it.  They also made ranch dressing from scratch!

They also got to see what it was like to make hamburgers (though they did not eat these)

And they got to help make real whipped cream for topping the fruit for dessert

Sounds like a great time!  I hope I get to go on at least one field trip this year!
