Well, I'm back from the field trip. It was pretty neat. We went to Sally Industries. Apparently a man who was in dental school 27 years ago had a class in which he had to do a communications project. He took a mannequin head, wired it up so that the mouth, eyes, etc. moved, put a wig on it and called it Sally....he went on to become a dentist, and he also has this little side business, which creates animatronics for rides at Disney, Universal, etc. They had robotics that looked like real human beings in there....some of them were pretty freaky they were so real. They also had a HUGE t-rex head, like the kind from Jurassic Park. The kids LOVED that. They also had sculptures in clay and foam that were from Disney's next project that revolves around Davey Crockett. I took some pics, but with a regular camera. I'll post them when I get them developed.
It turned out that my group was just the girls in the class. The boys were going later in the day, as it is not a big place and couldn't accommodate those many children on the tour at one time. The girls were all very good. We had to wear safety goggles for the tour, since we were going through the shop area. They passed them out and they were really cool looking....like those wrap around sunglasses. Then they took the ones out for the adults....they looked like old lady teardrop glasses....I was quite a stunner, I must say....lmao. Wee one looked at me and said, "Mom, you look like a teen....a nerdy teen!" Gee honey, thanks. They told the kids that they had to keep them on at all times, and if she had to tell them more than three times to put them on, they would have to leave the tour. Later on, one of the kids asked where they got the eyeballs for the human looking robots. (Now, if the tour guide was smart, she would have said, "From the children who don't keep the glasses on." I guarantee no one would have taken them off after that!) The guide was really nice, and there were laser games the kids got to play under blacklights. Kids always love that....seeing their shirts glowing. All in all it was a really nice trip.
Okay, I've wasted enough time....I have to go sew. At least my headache is feeling better....

Hey waht a bout the girl who has the weird allergys??????? But sounds like neat field trip. Lori
Wow, now that's what I call a pile of sewing!!! I am sure you looked just marvie with your glasses on! Too bad they didn't make you wear those hair net coverings too, that would have added to the entire "look". Glad you had fun and hope your headache goes away fast!
Hugs and love, Lisa
I hope that headache disolves and never ever comes back. I am so jealous I wanna go on that feild trip. Geee wiz my kids only get to go to farms, planitarums and the musuem of natural history which is the most boring place in the world. Happy Sewing!

I love those animatronic people at Disney, they are so cool. So hard to tell if they are human or not. Glad you had a good time, but not as much fun as I'm gonna have on our BAKERY field trip on Monday...mmmmmm free cupcakes and donuts!
I'm glad you had a good time. I sure hope you start to feeling better soon. Seems like you've not been feeling well for a while.
