Hyundai field trip, etc.

Yesterday the children and I went on a wonderful field trip to tour the Hyndai factory.  It is a first-class factory and we loved the tour.




You get to see them make the car from a roll of steel all the way to the test drive.  It was really fascinating watching the whole process- they build 1,350 cars a day!  You couldn't take pictures inside, but these are from the internet.  We got to follow the cars along the conveyor belts as they added each piece- the cars go up and won depending on what part they are working on.


The very last stage had a driver get into the new car, drive it though high-powered water to check for leaks and then run it through the test track where they go up to 70-80 miles and hour and also check the emergency brake.

 
 
Monday evening the library put on a Star Wars trivia night.  Marc and his friends signed up as a team.  :)



And they won 2nd place!

Good job, boys!
