Field Trip #4: Canal town

This week took us to a neighboring town where they have maintained one of the few remaining canal boats. The town is a a step back in time, preserving many historic traditions.

Our group got a demonstration of how they used to make rope, and then met the horses who pull the canal boats. After lunch, and a whole lot of romping in the park, we got to ride the canal boat.

I’m loving this summer series, taking these kids to places they’ve never been, making their world view just a little bit wider.
