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.

They tried distracting me with my ball but i did not work.
She finally got a good one.

Mommy got off work early so we got to go to the ZOO!!

I Love these Love Birds. I got to get really close.


We saw lots of animals but i enjoyed watching the
Fish the most.
Jay Jay and I also got to Ride on this Hippio too.

Pool Party

I had so much fun at the beach I convinced Mom and Dad to get a pool! (It wasn't too hard)

I love splashing around,

Watch out, 'cause here I come!!

Last days of Vacation

Cousin Stephen was lots of fun!

He could throw me pretty high!

We had pictures on the beach. Me. Mommy, Daddy and great-Grandma.

We all had a great time in North Carolina.

More beach Time

I woke up, had some milk, and told Mom we had to hit the beach!

Sand and sun feels soooo good.

Mommy and Granny had me leaping waves!

I was jumping high!

Don't worry I got to knock down the sand castle later.

Fishin'

Mommy and daddy got to go fishing.

Mommy caught some bait!

I'll show 'em how it's done.
