| I want one! |
I have often stated that I was born into the wrong era. Don't get me wrong, I love me some current helpful inventions; bathrooms, running water, DVR, Ipod, etc. But I love the romantic feeling of older times. My favorite genre for reading is historical fiction and it makes my *heart flutter*
Today we went on our last field trip for the year and found ourselves at an outdoor museum with several different buildings. I enjoyed listening to the kids make connections to what they learned in Social Studies to what they were seeing.
The pictures I took were some of the things that made my *heart flutter* and got my imagination going.

How does one get up on such a bike?
The kids could pan for "gold" and keep three of the pieces they found. Who knew that such an activity would occupy 38 fourth graders so well!
I LOVE these old mailboxes!

The mail boxes are really neat! are the two larger knobs the locks?
ReplyDeleteI think the two larger knobs are the code dials and then smaller one is what you slide over to unlock it? Not sure. I didn't try them out.
Deletemakes the post office box keys seem so boring! but less of a hassle to change i suppose. :-)
DeleteI also enjoy a good flash back to how things use to be. I have wondered the same thing regarding the bike.
ReplyDeleteI had a mailbox in Granby with a knob to turn for the combination to open the door! I even remember the box number, 891, but not the letters to open it. That was the beginning of my teaching career, and now I'm almost finished. 39 years~long enough.♥♫
