Brule River

Last weekend, my two brothers and their wives and my niece Tara came up to Minneapolis for a visit. We all went canoeing on the Brule River while Trixie watched Ani. It was perfect weather, low 80's and sunny yet breezy. The water was too high for us to do the Class III rapids that we signed up for, so we had to do a less-complicated run with fewer Class II rapids. Still a great time though!
