River Rats

We decided to be river rats with Dad and his buddies one day this week.  We took our new (to us) little fishing boat in on the Missouri River at Fort Osage and headed toward the Little Blue River. 
This is the view of the Sibley Power Plant from where we put in.
The mouth of the Little Blue. 
Here comes the Jet Jon! 
We stopped to cook lunch at a sandy spot.  I had prime seating! 


Carrie took us hiking through the woods to collect firewood and find some good picture spots. 
Back on the river again!

It was a really pretty time of year to be on the river. 
 We saw lots of frogs!  James even got a big one up on an oar, but he jumped off before we could take a picture. 

Camille was getting good at running the trolling motor.  So am I!  We were going to try to have trolling races! 
A perfect end to a perfect day!
