Field Trip Day

On September 26, we took a day to do some out-of-the-ordinary things. Kind of like a homeschool field trip day. J

The company Dad works for was offering free biometric health screenings to employees and their family members. It’s always a good thing to get your numbers checked, so we decided to take advantage of the opportunity! We got our fingers pricked, and they checked cholesterol levels, blood pressure, pulse rate, blood sugar, and BMI. I had never had a screening like this (you had to be over 18 to get it done), and was pleasantly surprised. All my numbers checked out great!

I was quite happy that while we were in the parking lot, we got to observe some acrobatic stunts being done at the airport nearby. We have heard the planes from our house all week, but hadn’t had the time to go over to the airport and watch at all.

Daddy took a break from work and took us out for lunch! He took us out to the Taco Bus! This bus was converted into a restaurant-on-wheels. The rest of us had never been here before, and were excited about the experience.

Half of the inside of the bus is their kitchen. The other half has a few tables and chairs lining the walls. We went inside and ordered, but ate our lunch outside at a picnic table since the weather was so nice out.

As unassuming as the place looks, the food was outstanding! Some of us had tacos, others had quesadillas, and I tried a sope. It was delicioso!

After eating, we said goodbye to Dad and headed towards the library to drop off a few books.

Then we went to the hair salon while Roma got a trim. In a homeschool family, sometimes you have “car school” days. J These guys are great at traveling with their schoolwork!

Then Mom surprised us with a treat at Braum’s! After the spicy Latin American food, the ice cream was a soothing special.

And that was our little fun day! We love doing stuff together. J
