Friday we took our local field trip to Leal's Tortilla Factory and the Heritage Center! Since it was starting to get cold outside, we went back to the school to eat. Our class and the class we were paired with decided they wanted to eat outside ... so we did! We went in between 2 building so the wind wouldn't get us too bad and had ourselves a little picnic! :)
Since we were in a big group and there are kids from other classes in our pictures, I am still going through some pictures and editing them. Hopefully I will be done by the middle of the week. But there are some great ones up now!
At the Tortilla Factory, we got to see how they make the tortillas! We got to walk back and see the dough being flattened and cut into circles and the whole process it goes through before we eat it. Then ... WE GOT TO EAT TORTILLAS! That seems to always be one of the favorite parts. :)

| First they talked to us about the machines to make sure we would be careful. |

| Thanks Leal's for letting us visit! |
After the tortilla factory, we left to go to the Heritage Center and see different buildings from the past and how people lived in the past.

We saw some pretty cool things at the Heritage Center.

| A potato masher from the 1920s |
 |
| A hand mixer form the 1920s ... I for one and glad we have electricity now |
 |
| A juicer form the 1920s |
 |
| An apple peeler |
 |
| One of the rooms had a gavel in it! We made our connection to Sonia Sotomayor. |
