Allie's Fieldtrip

I feel bad that this is another post about Allie. I have some great pictures of Haley and Emily, but I'm not sure where Brent stored them.

Allie's preschool class took a fieldtrip to Macey's Grocery Store. All the kids really enjoyed themselves and they got a great tour of all the departments and met all the managers.

They took them through the deli and gave them ice cream and showed them their big kitchen and refrigerator.

They went to the bakery and watched the big automatic mixers, saw the ovens, the doughnut fryer and had a cookie. The cake decorator showed them her huge buckets of frosting and how she decorates the cakes.

They toured the produce section and the manager explained about cleaning the fruit and vegetables before it's put on the floor. He says the produce comes off the truck in boxes and it's pretty dirty. They find tarantulas in the bananas. He also gave them a fruit roll-up.

They toured the storage area where all the extra groceries are kept and watched the trash compactor and the box crusher.

The dairy manager took them in the refrigerator and showed them how they load the milk and other items through the special doors. He made them guess what was behind each door.

At the end of the tour they received gift bags with a balloon, candy, and coupons. They were all well behaved and had a great time.

They had to tour the deli with hair nets and their arms folded.

They're headed to meet the produce manager. Everyone was so nice to the kids.

Looking out the loading dock where the trucks bring the groceries in. Allie wasn't happy unless she was standing right on the edge.
