Augusta Canal Field Trip!

We spent the morning at the Augusta Canal Educational Center. It was the end of year celebration for our area and Chris had never taken the canal boat ride so we took him with us. He IS the Principal after-all... Hee hee! We had a lot of fun showing him around the center (it was our second trip here this year!) and watching the quick film on the canal's history. It's a really fun place to visit. The boat ride is always the highlight and it really isn't long enough if you ask me!!! :) We had a lot of fun together!
GCA rocks!! (Georgia Cyber Academy...)


The museum is in the old Enterprise Mill. It still uses the canal to power it! We learned all about hydroelectricity and generators... Very cool!

We did a scavenger hunt to find critters who live on the canal. Jilli was really good at it!

While we were waiting for the boat trip, we played a bunch of games. This one was Duck Duck Goose!

Next they tried Egg races with styrofoam eggs and spoons...
