Roll those Rolls

The best thing about home school is that we get to have a field trip whenever we feel like :-) 

This week we headed down south to the Kona Historical Society.  We learned about how they did things back in "the old days".  One thing we got to do is roll out Portuguese Sweet Bread.  They let people help roll and then bake it in a rock stove. 

Kids thought they were pretty special rolling out the dough!  We got to take home some yummy bread at the end of our trip.  I thought about my dad as we were loading up in our car (he's kind of a major germ-a-phobe)...the bread we went home with was most likely NOT the bread the kids rolled out.  We just got the bag they handed us.  Who knows where the hands that rolled our dough had been...but even more concerning might have been the thought of who ended up with our kid-rolled bread!? :-)

And talk about lucky!  Tyler looked in the grass for about 30 seconds and found a four-leaf clover!
