S has fully embraced swimming. He floats almost as well as an iceberg, but with only about 1/2% of him above water. He's not a water dog, but he thinks he is.
His new favorite activity is wading in the creek on his walk to chase dragon flies and cool off.
Minnehaha Creek is two blocks from the house, and the creek that drains Lake Harriet into Minnehaha isn't much further. JP likes it, too.
This weekend we explored the St. Croix River from Taylors Falls down to Stillwater. Our intent was to check out Interstate State Park, but it was overfull; we'll come back another day.
We stopped at William O'Brien State Park and hiked down to the river. There was a small creek flowing into the river there - it was crystal clear and maybe 50°. So refreshing! S did not mind at all. JP wants to book a canoe trip on the St. Croix before the boys head back to school.
