Field Trip Monday

On Monday, we went to Bonefish Grill for our third field trip in our group. Ansley really enjoyed it. Christian was probably a bit young to really get into it, but he was along for the ride, so he had fun. Well, he tolerated it. Alright, he was pretty grumpy and clingy that morning, but Ansley really did enjoy it.

Here they are watching Chef PJ, and being very attentive.

The kids got to practice being servers, putting on a Bonefish jacket and taking "orders." They took a tour of the kitchen, saw where food was kept, the huge refrigerator, and watched mac 'n cheese being made. Then they got to sprinkle some sugar on top of creme brulee, and use a torch to make it yummy!

After all the learning stuff, we all enjoyed a yummy lunch! It was a surprise and such a treat. The kids all sat together, talking and enjoying their chicken strips and macaroni and cheese (which, by the way, was made with THREE ingredients, and both my kids gobbled it up and wanted more, for the record). The moms sat at another table, and enjoyed chicken, salad and Bang Bang Shrimp. (This is just one of the tables - there were quite a few more children.)

Then the kids all got to eat their creme brulees that they had helped make. And the moms got a slightly bigger portion. We even sampled a chocolate creme brulee! It was all so yummy.

 
 
That's Savannah Ansley is sitting next to, who is nine. Ansley wants to be like her when she grows up. You know how younger kids always seem to have that one "older" person they get fixated on? Ansley's is Savannah. She just loves her, and thankfully, Savannah seems to enjoy Ansley as well!

Christian really was there, too, he just never stepped more than a foot away from me so I could take his picture. I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin'. He's a needy boy.

A very fun field trip! Now I'm up for our December field trip - I don't think I can top Bonefish!

Yeah, I think y'all would have to go to Biltmore to top Bonefish! Looks fun, engaging, and delish!

And why is it that us Mamas can't get enough of our needy boys? I sure do like holding mine. Well, most of the time. :)

That's the kinda field trip that a mommy can get into... yum! What 3 ingredients did they use to make the mac n cheese?

What an awesome field trip! Homeschooling is so fun for Mom as well as the kids especially on days like this. So glad you have a group to participate in fun field trips with. I will have to make this recommendation to our homeschool group because I'd like to go on that field trip! ;)

I like the picture of Ansley with the torch. :) What a different, fun field trip to take. I like how you got to enjoy your meal together after learning what goes on behind the scenes.
