Aunt Annie's

Mimi took Reagan on her field trip to Aunt Annie's today. Mom picked her up at school a tad late - the bus had already left (early). She met the rest of her class at the pretzel joint and got her into her apron. I had no idea what they were doing, but got this really cool report when I called my mom after lunch today.

Apparently, this place has school trips for kids of all ages. They bring them in, put them in aprons and show them the ropes. They kneed dough, roll it out and make their pretzels. Really? I wish I would have taken her now! I was jealous the second my mom told me that.

Anyway, apparently Reagan was cool with everything until they told her to put her hand in the dough. She wanted nothing to do with it. Ha. My mom made her put her hand in. She got so upset that she didn't dare make her put the second one in. Finally her teacher said to "let her go" and she could get cleaned up. That made her happy.

She did get back into the game when she could roll out the dough and make her own pretzel. She was excited about that. Once that was done, they kids got to grab a slushy and hang out on the sidewalk waiting for their pretzels. She got cinnamon and sugar (of course) and a blue slushy.

She hung out with our neighbor boy quite a bit. I think she's smitten with him. It's cute. It was enough of a "thing" that my mom made special note of it to me today. Awww.
