Mississippi River Museum

Spring Break
We had a great day with Uncle Doug, Aunt Ginger, Olivia, Shekinah, Ben and Luke. We headed out early and had a good breakfast in the Amana's then we went through the Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque, IA. The museum was really neat I recommend it highly. They had lots of fun animals and stories about the Steamboats and Barges and Tug Boats. They had a really neat old boat they used to dredge the bottom of the river and you could go in all the rooms and down into the engine rooms and things. It was very educational and lots of fun. After the museum we had a late picnic lunch then headed back home. We are thankful to Uncle Doug and Aunt Ginger for the invitation. We need to do things like this more often.





Venom Display
This is a rattlesnake cage with about 5 rattlers in it! You could crawl underneath it and pop up in the little bubbles and look like you were inside with the snakes. Yuck! Gideon thought it was awesome!
