This past Tuesday we went on a homeschool field trip to one of the local Papa John's restaurants. The children were taken in small groups through the restaurant to see how they take orders, walk in the the huge walk-in refrigerator, and make their own pizzas. We made 40 pizzas with 6 of those being adult made pizzas. 
Emma got to go in the first group. Each child got to wear an apron while during their tour and while making their pizza.
You must first wash your hands before entering the kitchen to make the pizzas!

They had a conference room for the kids to wait in when they were waiting for their tours and for their pizzas to cook.
Candi had markers and activity sheets for the kids to keep them busy plus Papa John's gave them activity booklets to work on while they waited.

Putting the pizzas in the oven
While we were waiting for the pizzas to bake, one of the Papa John's area managers came in and spun dough for the children.

This was fantastic field trip. The staff did an excellent job and went out of their way for our children. Each child also received a certificate of achievement for participating which also had a coupon for a free cheese pizza or cheesesticks on each certificate.

I picked with the employees about helping me pick my toppings that would help me go into labor and who knew I would give birth to Asa the next morning.
After we left Papa John's, some of us went to Candi's house to eat our pizza and play so it was a full day of fun.

What a fun idea! I'll have to check out our local pizza places for our group to take a tour.
I went over to Candi's place and looked at your fixin' your pizza. You DO NOT, DID NOT even look 9 months pregnant! Until that last photo with your completed pizza,then you showed :-)
Thanks for sharing~ Cinnamon
p.s. How are you feeling? How's sweet baby Asa?
Yep, that was a fun one I missed. Maybe next time!! That mamarazzi picture is too funny!! Hope you and little Asa are doing well.
They look like they had a great time.
