Oh I can imagine that he did love it. I remember when we lived in Texas we went to a recycle center that had big machines like that for a tour and the kids loved it. Also the fire station. Those were some fun homeschool field trips!
Homeschool field trips are the best! When people execute their programmed "no school today?" question for my children, I honestly report: "homeschool field trip". And they usually look a little confused, like they didn't know that was an optional response. !BBH
Ha! Field trips really are the best...and anything counts when you're homeschooling! Everything is a learning opportunity!
