River Museum

It is hot. Summer is almost over. the boys have been getting on each others' nerves (and mine).
So a day trip to Dubuque was in order to visit the Mississippi River Museum. To our surprise a new building opened so there was new stuff for everyone to look at. Here we are on the top of the steam boat....."iceburg right ahead!" opps, wrong quote. It took all of Jamison's weight and strength to lift the cargo. The new building had a "waterworks" area where the boys could learn first hand locks and damn....and of course get wet. Say Mississippi River!I was then serenaded but a lovely chorus of hand farts!. "Jamison, that one was awesome!" says Peter with a Beevis and Butthead tone in his voice. The attic guard rain is up! woohoo. I think that took every ounce of Pat's patience and to think, the way the contractor suggested work! whod'athunkit. A bit more trim, a door and a handrail and we will be ready play and sit our behinds down and watch StarWars (The boys were told that the first movie we can watch up there would be StarWars IV, which is the first. a little confusing for a 6yo) Woohoo we are almost there!
