Rock Shopping and Canal Walk

My dad wanted some Arizona rocks for making a flower garden on the farm in Iowa. We took a day off from building the shed on Wednesday and took a road trip. We were able to find a few places to get a good assortment of rocks. For lunch we stopped at Long John Silvers and ate a bunch of fish.



In the afternoon, we went for a walk from our house over to the canal that runs past our backyard. My dad has been wanting to go over there and check things out.



Once we crossed the canal over the walkway by the SR51, we walked on the top of the dam on the other side. As we went along, there were tons of quail hustling around between the bushes. I got a good picture of 5-6 of them, but we must have seen over 100.



As we got up behind our house, you can see our backyard and the rafters from the shed.



My dad was having fun and I could barely keep up with him.



Here's a view down 40th street.



Here is a picture of the exit signs and one of looking back across the walkway.
