Float Trip on Black River-Video

  We went on a float trip down a beautiful stretch of the Black River in southern Missouri with some friends. We ended up going about 6 miles, but it was an all-day event with stops for lunch and playing along the river.

  I’ve had an underwater camera for months now, but I’d never really been able to test out its submergible qualities until today.  It was a little hard to swim and film at the same time and to film underwater without goggles on, but I was still surprised at the quality of the video and plan on getting some more underwater filming soon.

Canoeing

After owning it for 9 months we finally got to try out our canoe the USS Providence. Our family enjoys canoeing and we had a grand time on the lake. Can't view this video? Click here to view this video on HomeSchoolViewTube

Up & Down the Mississippi

We recently took a cruise on the "Tom Sawyer" up and down the Mississippi River. The "Tom Sawyer" is a steamboat looking boat that would have been used in the 19th and 20th Century.  This boat features three decks a dancing floor and bandstand. During the two-hour long ride a tour guide and the captain pointed out landmarks and gave some background history about St. Louis.
