The Erie Canal

We went on a field trip on the Erie Canal. Saw lots of ducks there. The captain of the boat told us many things about the Erie Canal. It was built about 200 years ago. the 1800's.
When we went into the lock the water came out and lifted the boat up. The doors opened on the opposite side and we went through. My mom keeps singing '15 miles on the Erie canal' song and it is driving me nuts! The water coming in looks really cool!
