Nelson and I took a walk along the Canon River yesterday. He had nose work trials at the fairgrounds and I went along to be his personal cheerleader. We had a big break between the trials which is when we walked along the river.
The trail ends at the railroad bridge, so we walked down that far and then turned around. Thankfully, the river was full, but not flooded. We have gone to Faribault many times for sniffing events, but we have never seen the river this high.
As it is by our house, lots of Mallards were hanging around and swimming. I guess all the ducks are sitting on their nests like our duck, Missy.
Walking the other direction, the trail ends at the woolen mills. Mom used to go there as a little girl sometimes when they took a Sunday drive to Faribault. The factory has been refurbished and is now working like crazy producing lots of blankets and things.
For the last of our photos along the Canon River, we saved the big Adirondack chair. I have taken a photo here before, but never with any of my siblings. Mom lifted us up so we could pose for the photo and then she helped us back down. You know we love finding giant Adirondack chairs. Emma started the tradition back in 2014. It was a fun little walk for us.

You both look so small in that huge chair! What a fun adventure!
It is really big. Getting us up there and then back down is a challenge for our mom.
oh how great to see you two in such a giant chair… and how great that you go with a cheerleader to an event.. that screams for lots of ribbons and titles…
Yes, it was helpful and I did really well, especially for my age. Madison is such a social butterfly, I barely saw her as she was all about visiting people she knows.
Love the chair! Another great adventure. I bet your mom could mass produce coloring books (or stories) with all the big chair photos she has. “Grand Chairs for GBGVs” could be one title. Or a children’s book with each page a big chair photo “Grand Chairs.” Just some ideas we thought of.
That is a fun idea, but she says she won’t ever do a book again unless an agent contacts her to handle all the marketing, etc.
Excellent photo shoot. I really like the old factory as a background for the portrait. I am sure Nelson enjoyed the break from nose work to just get out and stroll down the river with sis.
It is tiring work, so I sleep a lot between my searches but it is also good to get out and stretch and “use the facilities” as needed.
That’s a huge chair and you’re both so cute on that hug chair.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

very pretty place to walk!
It’s nice to relax between trials.
Nice pictures from a lovely day! Love the big chair pictures.
Thank you. We just love finding big chairs.
Even though the water is high along the river looks like an interesting place for a walk. You two do look great on that big throne!
Big chairs are the best finds!
Great pictures and sight seeing of you two. What a big chair, we would love to climb on it 😀 Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead to all of you 🙂 ♥
It was a fun walk during the break between trials.
