Trip to Boothbay Railway Village

Today we went to the Boothbay Railway Village.  We saw many antiques and learned that ice didn't always come from the door on the freezer.  We watched an antique gasoline engine start up by spinning really big wheels.  We went for a train ride and a Model T ride.  The class saw an old washing machine, cookstove and an antique toilet.  We found letters and numbers EVERYWHERE!  Wyatt was excited to see the letter W on a sign as we road on the train.  

 Getting ready for the train ride....

 The steam whistle was LOUD!

Emma learns how to drive a car with just a lever.

 Model T rides

 Camden checks out how a steam engine works.

Reacting to the steam whistle

 Luke and Tucker are ready to ride!

We learned there are all sorts of ways to tell time.  This sundial showed us Roman numerals.  Can you tell what time we took this picture?
