Field Trip!

Abby's preschool class met at a local pizzeria this week to take a field trip and make their own pizzas! The theme was "using our senses" so the kids got to touch, smell, see, and taste lots of different stuff (the only thing we heard was a crazily loud kitchen, lol!).

The management kindly provided coloring sheets and crayons for while the kids waited, as they went back in small groups of five.

Abby and Lilly knew they were gonna make pizza... but I think they were more hyper about being reunited after a long absence of 24 hours! :)

Eventually they did settle down and do some coloring, but pretty soon it was time to go back into the kitchen - but first, a stop to wash hands.


The first thing we got to touch was a giant bowl of pizza dough. Pretty squishy!

The lady who helped the kids was AMAZING - thanks again, Kelly!

Abby and her schoolmate Emilie got to make their pizzas first!

First was the sauce...

Then the cheese (Abby wanted to "sprinkle" it at first)...

... Til Kelly showed her how to grab a big handful and spread it around.

Emilie got into the act, too!

Kelly helped Abby spread everything into place.

Then it was Lilly's turn!

Spreading sauce.

Just about ready for cheese!

Smelling some stuff - sweet pineapple.

And some anchovies, cuz like Kelly said, "Some silly people like to put fishies on their pizza." :)

Our pizzas came out of the oven nice and bubbly!

Enjoying the fruit of our labors. :)

Yummy, yummy!

Happy, hungry cousins. :)
