Fourth of July Canoeing and Swimming

We had a terrific time today canoeing and swimming on the Ipswich River with our friends.

Maya started out thoughtful:

She started to look a bit more eager once we put on our life vests:

After canoeing upriver for a while, we stopped for lunch - this was the view from the site:

After lunch, we canoed downriver and found a good swimming spot. Maya was quite happy to play in the water:

By the time we packed up, she was soaking wet after lots of fun splashing in the water, and rather unhappy to leave:

Fortunately we got delicious some ice cream at a nearby shop, so that seemed to cheer her up!
