Before we moved to Calgary, we went to the Ford Museum in Windsor. We took Grandpa there.

In a pretend mini-garage, we found a car that you could fix. We slid under the car, holding mufflers. We removed the mufflers that were already attached, and attached the new ones we were holding. There was also an engine that we got to pour pretend-bottles of oil and fuel into. It was fun sliding under the car – we slid in from the back, crawled under the car, and popped our heads out of the engine!

There was also a big train that you could get on, but it didn’t move. The only part that you could go in was where the engineer sits.

We also got to make cars out of tinker-toys and race them down a ramp. There’s a gate that blocks the car at the top of the ramp, and when you open the gate, the cars can go at the same time. One of my cars had so many wheels, it was heavier than Gabe’s and went much faster so I won. Another time I built a mini-tow truck, and I could even tow Gabe’s car.

This field trip was super fun, I didn’t even know that I was still learning!
