April through June 2021

The first week of June we went to Minnesota for an Eberhard Family Reunion.  

We stayed with John and Ann for a couple of days then, on the Monday before the reunion started, we went with John, Ann, Michelle, Belle, Jeff and Alisa to LaCrosse Wisconsin where we went on a paddleboat ride on the Mississippi.  It was amazin

The  boat before we boarded.

                                       

While we were waiting to set out, this huge barge came by.

                                       

This is the tugboat pushing the barge.

A swinging railroad bridge that can be opened for river traffic and close for trains.

After the boat ride, we stopped to look at the locks where boats can be adjusted to different levels in the river where there is a dam.

The next day we went out to the White Water State Park a half hour or so from John's for the reunion.  We stayed in cabins.

This was our cabin.

One of the activities was tie-dying T shirts

This is the building that housed the kitchen and dining area.

Some of the family rode the kayaks down the river to the beach.
