Homeschool Field Trips
If you have not done this, you should check it out.
We toured a candy store today. They showed us how to make different types of chocolate candy, many of their cool tools and machines and learned that water is the number one enemy of chocolate. It turns it into taffy like a tootsie roll.
They even let us paint some chocolate portraits with food coloring.
The kids were very polite and well behaved. We left the store standing in one piece and took home a few bags of handmade candy. The owner of the store used to be a teacher for 22 years and then opened this store so she was very hands on. She mentioned how she didn’t know how we did it. How we could teach our own kids. I remember thinking the same thing, until I tried it. Now I couldn’t imagine letting someone else do it, at least not right now. This is my season, and I am taking them to candy store on my terms people!!!
Phew, I am glad I got that off my chest, I couldn’t really give her my home school 411 then, so I just smiled and nodded.If you homeschool, what do you say when people say that to you?
Peace to all who love them some chocolate in large handmade quantities.
