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!

  1. So, I left a comment on Griffin's blog before yours! You should read it - I think you'll find it funny. I guess I won't sing the song that you know I'm dying to sing on your blog because it was driving you nuts, but did you know that I used to have an old mule named Sal? Yeah, and once I took her for a ride 15 miles down the Erie Canal. Miss you Will!!
