A lazy walk across the Stone Arch Bridge and the mill ruins

Last big event was a visit to the Stone Arch Bridge to look at the raging Mighty Mississippi River.

Amelia says I am a little birdie. Feed me!

So Aunt Kjerstin helped.

Ta Da! I am standing here on the Stone Arch Bridge.

Looking at the ruins.

What used to be the river water intake to the mills to grind the wheat.

Airplane.

I am here over the Might Mississippi River.

The water is raging.

We are all here.

I love you Aunt Kjerstin.

An unhappy child. I want to walk.

I got my wish. I am looking at the river through the bars.

I will save you Mingah.

Almost to the other side.

In the background is the new I35W bridge that collapsed a few years ago that killed 13 people. It was rebuilt in a year, newer and better than before.

I see the other side. Almost there.

Horse and Buggy ride.

One, Two, Three.......

Swing!

Our Stone Arch Bridge (used to be a railroad crossing).

Mommy is giving me a ride. I like this.

The ruins from under the bridge.

The old Gold Metal Flour Mill.

Ellie and Erik ran ahead of us.

The boys have found something.

Ellie and Kjerstin

Boo!

The little mermaid.

Kjerstin needed some extra help getting the stroller up the hill, so Charlie hooked up the tow rope and helped. Later the tow rope became a dog leash and he wouldn't give it back to mom for her bag.
