September 13, 2004 - Monday
I bought that used canoe yesterday and I took the boys out on the section of river closest to our house (about a half mile). It could not have gone much better. We saw a flock of ducks, two swans, a flock of geese, a heron perched on a log about 50 yards away, a heron flying low to the water, the heron flying low to the water again for about 200 yards, and a turtle swimming to the two-foot deep water directly beneath out canoe. We were in a little tree-bound inlet and I'd seen small small bubbles and went to investigate. There is was: a solid 16-inch long shell and the better part of two feet with the head sticking out. Follwing the bubbles allowed Harry and Jeremy to see it, too. But, the best part was listening to Harry tell his mother about it at dinner time, complete with the bubbles. That's the reason for the canoe!
