Shelburne Museum Field Trip

Our homeschool group really was busy this month! A week after Billings Farm, some of our families took another field trip to the Shelburne Museum. It is one of my favorite museums because there is so much to do and see there. They regularly have homeschool days, where they offer special workshops for the kids at different locations. The kids really enjoy the extra activities while still seeing the museum. It was a really pretty day for the trip, too!

We started our day at the covered bridge, a fun place to run the length.

The old jailhouse is always a hit. We don't mind locking the kids inside! :)

We spent a lot of time on the ship, a model of one that used to travel across Lake Champlain from Vermont to New York. The workshop taught us about pulleys used to load goods onto the ship.

And of course the ship is a great spot for photo ops!

The kids always love the carousel. We saved it for the end and they wanted to ride over and over again.

This was the girls' last outing together before the two on the outside edges of this picture move to SC, so it was a little bittersweet for Leah. They had a great time together!
