Two Articles about Taste of Texas by 1) Luke U. and 2)Ava J, Caitlyn D, MacKenzie G.

Taste of Texas is an amazing place to eat and learn about Texas history.  The owner has been letting fourth graders come for thirty two years.  She has signatures from Moses Austin, Stephen F. Austin, Davy Crockett, and Santa Ana.  She has currency from when Texas was its own country. They serve chicken strips, fries, and a sprite. You get to go into the freezer which is ten degrees below zero. They also turn the lights off - it freaked a lot of people out. And that’s most all we did.

On January 27, 2016, our class went to Taste of Texas and Bear Creek Park. At Taste of Texas Mrs. Hendee taught us so much about Texas history. She showed us artifacts like Sam Houston’s signature etc. Everybody got to go into the freezer that was one of my favorite parts. It was -8 degrees Fahrenheit. Mrs. Hendee surprised us, and turned the lights off when we were in there!  We all got chicken strips, French fries, and sprite. It was delicious! After that the restaurant opened, we all got onto the bus and headed to Bear Creek Park. At Bear Creek Park there is a big playground with a net pyramid, swings, and a super long slide. From all the rain last week there was a puddle at the bottom of the slide. We went down the slide and almost got soaking wet. They let us play for about an hour, then we went to look at animals in the miniature Zoo. There is a pony, potbellied pig, and an emu. On the ride back, everyone was super tired from the fun day, some even fell asleep.

 

My favorite part of the Taste of Texas was when one of the faculty members introduced us to artist, Bev Dolittle. Some of her paintings, The Hills Have Eyes and the Sentinel, were my favorites.

I liked the part where Mrs. Hindi slapped a bonnet dress on me, and when I galloped on a horse.

Also, I liked the 8 layer slice of rich dark chocolate cake with chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar all on top of it. Oh, and a cookie too!
