A Minnesota Fun Summer Day

Steve and I had another fun Minnesota summer day on the rivers (Mississippi & (St Croix -our favorite!))

We stopped off at the dock and hooked up the Sea Doo and went for an outside lunch on the dock of the Muddy Water's Restaurant.

The long walk up all those stairs from the boat dock.


Going to eat at the river side, Muddy Water's restaurant.



One of our favorite afternoon places to eat.




Sitting outside eating lunch on the deck, watching the river and boats flow by.

There's our great place to swim on the St. Croix.

Steve wanted to do a little river fishing. I tried to sleep a little all sprawled out on the back of the Sea Doo and was able to keep my feet and hands cooling off in the water. The water was super warm as was the air temp around 85+ out today.


The first fish a small mouth bass Steve caught in the river right away. It was very exciting for both of us!!


Should we keep him or let him go? We decided to let the fish live. Off he swam...



Steve happy as he could be that he got to fish today!!





I found this little sail washed up on the beach.


Steve baiting the hook and going out for more fish.


The water level is way down and it created a nice little sand bar that we could walk way out on.








Going for a walk on the sand bar.


I had to pass by this little murky puddle of gross water between the sand bars.


~~~Summer 2007~~


Toes covered in wet sand. What's more to love about summer days??? My feet are looking a little too tan and dry.



Me, trying to be creative and entertain myself while Steve fishes.


My beach view of the river..Beautiful!!


Fishing box and Steve off in the distance getting all in to fish!
Wow!! Another small mouth bass and this one is 3x's larger then the last one. Again we are tempted to keep it but aren't sure if anyone would want a fish to eat?


A great looking fish, again set free. Time to leave the rivers and head for home.
