CRABTREE: A preschool field trip

A preschool field trip

During "F" week ate preschool we went on a field trip to the Fire station.

When we got there the firemen had just been called out. But they were back pretty quick and the kids thought it was fun to watch them park the fire engine. The firemen were so great with the kids and made sure that everyone had fun. First we toured the fire truck and even got to play with the hose.

Next was the ambulance. The kids thought it was lots of fun to walk through all the vehicles. Next up a tour of the kitchen and bedrooms. WOW. This was probably the favorite part, especially when they saw the 3 refrigerators!

Last but not least, one of the fire men dressed up for the kids. They wanted to show them that even though they sound funny through their mask and look scary with all their big clothes on they are nice guys. So the kids wouldn't be scared of them. It worked. The kids all gave him a hug or high fives. Then they taught the kids how to stop drop and roll. and gave them all helmets!

If you haven't toured the fire station with your kids, you should!

My Latest Recipe

CINNAMON ROLLS

THE DOUGH

2 (.25oz) pkgs active dry yeast

2 1/2 cups warm water

1/2 pkg of yellow cake mix (9oz)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

5 cups flour

THE INSIDE GOODNESS

1/2 cup butter (melted)

3/4 cup white sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

THE FROSTING

(or BUY cream cheese frosting)

3 cup confectioner's sugar

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 Tbsp milk

DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it stand until creamy (about 10 minutes). Then combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix, salt, and vanilla; stir well. Stir in the flour, beat well. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Deflate dough and turn it out on a well floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle and spread with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (combine in bowl before hand to make it easy). Roll up dough (so you have a long tube) and cut into 3/4 inch thick rolls. Place on greased baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 min). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes. While rolls are cooling make frosting. Stir all ingredients together in a bowl. After the rolls have cooled a bit, spread with frosting and enjoy!
