Dad Date

Superdad took Phoebe to the mini-Mississippi river at Mud Island on a lovely Sunday afternoon. You can walk the length of the mini-river, which is a built to scale version of the Mississippi that ends at a big pool that is supposed to be the Gulf of Mexico. There is even a layout of Memphis along the east bank of the mini-river where Phoebe was happy to be able to find her house and school.


The mini-river runs right next to the big river. That is the new bridge to Arkansas behind Phoebe.


Superdad told Phoebe that he had a surprise for her and that she had to dress nautical for their date. Phoebe asked about the surprise during the entire walk down the mini-river, but Superdad didn't crack and the surprise didn't disappoint. Paddleboats!


Phoebe picked the dragon over the swan. It was tuff to operate, but they figured it out.


Phoebe's feet didn't reach the paddles, so she was in charge of steering and Superdad provided the go power. Lookout!


Paddled out.
