Papa John's

Today we went to Papa John's for a field trip. In the back of the Jones Creek location, they have a conference room where the kids hung out while they waited for their turn to make a pizza.

(Note: This is a long post with lots of pictures. I didn't attempt to try manual or anything with my camera for this one. I kept having problems with the flash bouncing off all of the stainless steel and washing out parts of the pictures. But at least I have the memories recorded.)

This is the refrigerator where they keep their fresh ingredients.

After getting their aprons on, the kids had to wash their hands.
