Boating on the Mississippi

Rowan was able to take his very first boat ride while on vacation in Minnesota. It had been years for myself since I was on a boat. Boats on the sea make me sick!

Here is Ro and Maddie before take off, you can tell he looks a little scared.

And that is my brother Chris looking ever so suave in his Blu-Blockers, which he is really proud of. I failed to get a picture of my brother’s boating shoes that he wears….only not when boating. He claims to be ahead of the fashion curve…really, he is just on old man stuck in a young mans body.

The Mississippi River is so beautiful, well at least when it isn’t frozen that is.

It was a beautiful evening, a tad bit on the chilly side, but I wasn’t complaining.

I had to wear a coat….I was that cold.

I had a great time watching the kids and taking pictures.

Little feet, and Ro’s Titanic moment…he is so fearless, its scary.

The sun went down and we headed back.

It was a great time on the river, Ro is still talking about his boat ride.

  2. Your pictures are beautiful. Not only in color but in what you capture.

    If you have a moment, I have been asking what camera people use, I would love to know what you have. I want to get a new one and just can't decide. dpucci9972@gmail.com

  4. Great pictures - looks like such a relaxing day! I always get a little nervous about boat rides too (from a sea sick perspective). I never know how my stomach will fare!! But the bigger the boat the worse it gets...
