Getting ready to paddle down the Wisconsin River

The river was very high.  The boats would not usually be in the water there.

The kids paddled the hot dog until 1 bun deflated and they fell off and floated down the river.

Blossom helped find the treasure (dog bone) at the end.  She also thinks the horseshoe pit is a nice bed.
