First trip on the Mississippi River.

Our neighbors were kind enough to host my first trip on the Mississippi River. It really is historic. I look at it all day and dream of being out there. Our boat trip was as even better then my dreams!







Dad navigated us all to a new part of the river, the old main channel. It is back on the Minnesota side where they are doing moving sand, dirt and rocks to make islands in hopes of restoring it to what it looked like before the lock and dams.



Here's a preview of why. More waterfowl, fish and other wildlife.








And this sign that dad put in for the city lead our way home. It was a wonderful boatride, I would go any time again. Unfortunately the summer is coming to an end...we barely got started!
