Mississippi River Museum

We drove to Dubuque today to meet Jack who was participating in TOMRV, a bike ride he does every year.  Owyn, Zoee, and I visited the River Museum while we waited for Jack to arrive.  They have gotten several new displays since we were there last year. 

Checking out the giant aquarium with rays, sharks, eels, and other fish

Owyn was in charge of navigation

The new children's discovery area

Owyn's orange shirt was SOAKING WET.
And then we discovered the rain coats hanging on hooks.

Trying to pedal enough to power a water wheel

Showing Zoee the engine of the old paddle wheel boat

Driving their own boats

Manning the helm of the William S. Black

I wanted a nice picture with the river behind...

...but I got a couple of clowns instead.
