Our field trip to Peterbrooke Chocolatier included a lesson on where chocolate comes from both in nature and geographically speaking, the proper pronunciation of cacao ( 'ka-kow') a taste test of the different "levels" of chocolate and most importantly the opportunity to dip various things in chocolate and take them home to indulge in later.
Our Chocolate Wonder Chef was Sandy, a.k.a. Lovie, the store's proprietor. I enjoyed watching her lead the camp and enjoyed her demeanor with the children. She's a nice lady, ya'll.
Unfortunately, my phone had already been used to entertain RyeBird before we arrived and my battery died out before the camp ended... there aren't as many pictures as I would have liked to take- though some were taken by the store that I hope to be able to share soon.
School isn't officially back in swing until after Labor Day (cause, why?) But this was a sweet way to end the summer and kick off our hands on activities for the year... and, as for the chocolate store? We'll be back for tasty treats throughout the Fall and Holiday seasons and just for a friendly chat as time allows.
