Howard and the Mississippi

A couple of weekends ago, Howard and I headed downtown and walked along the river. Over on Mud Island, half of the park was under water; the river was so high! We drove over into Arkansas too, and the river was over three miles wide--going all the way to the levee just outside of the first city across the state line.



Howard even took a drink out of the river!



At one point, he became quite interested in the water . . . as a barge passed by.
