We took a ride on the Mississippi

It was such a beautiful day on Thursday. We decided to take a river boat ride. So we went to the paddleford company and got on a boat. Not a paddle boat, but a boat none the less. Here is Luke standing on a rock in the park there while we were waiting to get on.

Abbe on that same rock giving me some of her attitude for the picture This little gal seldom had an attitude. Both of the kids are a delight to have around
This is us getting off the boat after the ride. Luke was no so sure he wanted to go on it. Before we got on he fretted. He wanted to make sure there were life jackets and that it wasn't going to go too fast. But once we were on the way, he said, is this as fast as we are going to go and I said yes, and he was a happy boy and he and Abbe explored the boat and even stood at the rail and hung over a bit. I am glad he wasn't scared the whole ride.

This was an anchor I think that was there that they climbed up on so it was a photo op.
