Canoeing on the Squanacook River

Took Nick, John and my 6 y/o nephew William canoeing on the Squanacook River this morning. We spent most of the time tracking and catching turtles sunning themselves on logs. Caught 2! We saw several Great Blue Herons and a small Hummingbird Moth landing on Water Lilies out on the river.
