Minnehaha or "waterfall" or "rapid water" in Dakota

Tana invited me to go on a surrey ride at Minnehaha park. The falls were pretty big - well we did get almost seven inches of rain last month. Most people think Minnehaha means "laughing water" but in the Dakota language it means waterfall" or "rapid water". By the falls is the statue of Hiawatha carrying Minnehaha across the water.
Joseph wanted to get a red one so that is what we got.
We had to rest occasionally because driving one of those things around with only two peddle'ers is hard work.
During one of our rests we stopped by the falls. Calvin was busy talking during a lot of the hour we spent on the surrey.
