The Augusta Canal Boat Tour


During a recent visit, Mark's parents joined us on a boat tour
of the Augusta Canal.  It was a weekday 
so we had the boat all to ourselves!

our friendly tour guide.

Cheese!


Jonas was very interested in the other side of the boat and
asked the guide lots of questions after getting a little too close to the edge :)



It was a chilly day so we had to bundle up!



Grandpa Fred, Grandma Judy and Jonas all cuddled up


Jonas loved the bridge for bikes!  We'll need to check that out sometime.


The Crock Center



After the canal tour we headed inside (some of us
took a little longer by going backwards) to check out the museum.



When we went inside, I had a nice visit with some of the workers... : )



He was the happiest!



He had a really long day on the job.


Seriously, Jonas had a great time learning and pretending today!
There was a lot more to see at the museum but
we didn't get pictures because we were having
too much fun listening to the stories and interactively learning
how everything was created and works at the canal.
It was a great little adventure!
