Did I mention we have been all about grains/mills/bread lately?
I’ve been meaning to get up to Bob’s Red Mill (we use several of Bob’s grain products),and I thought their mill tour would be perfect for the boys.I would just love to tell you all about my well-behaved, intelligent, quiet/still, curious boys and how much they loved this field trip.I would love to tell you that I am a super-homeschooling-mother and was cheerful and gracious to my well-behaved boys.
Sigh. It was an off-day for all of us. We left the tour part-way through.
The boys were on over-load, needed to go to the bathroom, hungry…. I don’t know, but it wasn’t pretty. The visitor’s center/store/cafe is just down the road, and I decided a bite to eat might be what we all needed.
Sigh. We survived lunch, and then my mom and I took turns watching the boys in the truck while the other shopped for a few minutes.
(I think my mom was entertained by my meltdown.)The long drive was by far the best part of our day. I’m so glad my boys are good on the road.
What I can say, is that it was certainly an awesome place to visit without young boys
with ants in their pants and an inability to keep noises from emanating from their bodies.
You can watch the mill tour video here.
The store/cafe/visitor’s center is fabulous, and I would love to have a few hours there by myself!
They also sell their products online.
