Lovely day at the zoo

Whilst Nicki and David were here we were lucky enough to spend a weekend by Lake Pepin (the largest Lake in the Mississippi river) which we started with a trip on a paddle steamer down the Mississippi.

 The kids were even allowed to steer the boat!

We stayed at Willows on the River, Lake City. No kidding - this was the view from the living room
