Cooling Off at a Sandbar

It was a warm and humid day here in the Upper Mississippi River Valley giving the phrase "Dog Days of Summer" it's proper credit. We decided to take the boys to a large sandbar to cool off, with the Mississippi River starting to clear of its weeds and algae,  we just sat around and relaxed. The dogs, Koal and George, didn't have a problem figuring out how to do a great job staying cool. Here  Koal shows his way of doing it.  Of course George was not going to be out done by his brother so he too had to put on a demonstration of how to stay cool on these warm, humid days.  They were having so much fun that others stopped by and joined the fun.

  We also were able to enjoy views of other boats cruising up and down the Mississippi River along with a paddle wheel boat The La Crosse Queen. The Upper Mississippi River Valley has so many options of activities for all to do that it is almost impossible to ever get bored, everyday is a new adventure from just hanging out, to just going out and cruising around, and cruising to one of our favorite destinations.
