Mississippi River

One of the highlights of our trip was definetely the Mississippi River. There were fields of Water Lillies. We fell in love with them. They would open up in the morning, it was beautiful. Brad was bound and determined to get a picture for me up close. He was told that Water Lillies can not grow in more than 18 inches of water, so knowing that the river had to be shallow, he took off on a dangerous quest to get a picture. He was balancing on logs and struggling through mud. I yelled from the car, "Be careful, but could you please get the picture of the angelic looking flower way over there." :) He about lost his life to the river, but he got the picture I was hoping for. Thanks Brad! You're the best!
