Cruising

Captain Dan Dickinson of the “Magnolia Blossom” paddle boat took local third grade Brownie Girl Scout Troop #53707 and their families on a cruise up the Mississippi River to learn about the lock and dam system and to share his love of the river. The cruise fit with the troop’s “journey” they are completing this year — “The Wonders of Water.” From left to right are: Emma Veenendahl, Martha Soward, Maddie Veenendahl, Isapela Pupungatoa, Grace Dickinson, Captain Dan Dickinson, Isa Herrera, Scarlet Montgomery, Lindsay Andrea, Meridith Okal, Sophia Okal, Eryn Herrera and Asher Herrera.
