Boat ride in the Back waters of the upper Mississippi.

My FAVORITE part of vacation was when we
got to go on a boat ride.

And I got to have a OREO cookie. It was great!!

Here I am trying to touch the water,
I just could not reach it. So mommy said I
could get in when the boat docked.

So I DID!!

Effigy Mounds visitor center

Inside the visitor's center they had a lot of
really cool things....

This is a red bird can you see his beak.

This is a mushroom

And a turtle house. Mommy said the turtle was
all gone. He moved out.

Effigy Mounds

While on Vacation we went for a Hike at Effigy Mounds.
Daddy got a pic of this butterfly that was on the path.





I walked some of the time but when I got
tired mommy carried me.


And so did Daddy....
here I am reading the map trying to tell
mommy which way to go.

Cabin Vacation

We went a Vacationed on the Upper Mississippi with Grandma and pa
Hagen over the 4th of July week. It was great!!!
Mommy and Daddy were playing this game with sticks and balls.
I wanted to play too so mommy helped me.

I WON!!!!

They tried distracting me with my ball but i did not work.
