4-H Project Day

On Saturday, Lauren & Benjamin participated in 4-H Project Day. They could choose 2 different workshops to learn more about a 4-H project. The sessions they chose were "Bread in a Bag" and "Exotic Pets"

Bread in a Bag was exactly what it sounded like. They learned how to read a recipe, measure ingredients and mix it in the bag. Once the ingredients were combined they kneaded it on the table. Benjamin had the most unique kneading technique by far. (check out the picture below). We got to take the bread home and bake it too. mmmmmmm

The Exotic Pets workshop introduced them to a 3 year old boa constrictor snake. The kids all got to get up close and personal with the snake while asking a lot of questions. (No kids, we can't have a snake as a pet!)
