Watery Sunday

I just had a very water-themed day. Dad suggested that we go canoing so first thing this morning we ate breakfast, got dressed, and headed out to the bay.

I was very excited. I've seen lots of boats on the road (which mom and I have decided is pretty funny since boats belong on the water). I saw a couple of boats on the canal when we were out for ice cream. But I haven't been in a boat before.

We saw a big blue heron who let us come quite close and even quacked a "hi" to us. We saw two swans with a bunch of little cygnets. They were quite protective of their newborns and not very interested in the bread we offered to them. Two solitary swans and a couple of geese were much more interested in our offering of bread. The two geese actually followed us after we fed them a few slices! Then the trip ended with us spying one last swan sitting on her nest.

I'm still most fascinated by the bugs I see, though, and I found a couple of new bugs in the canoe as we paddled along.

After finishing with the canoe, aunt m called and suggested we head to her house for lunch and a swim in the pool so off we went. Dad had me splashing and kicking for a long time. I even dunked my head under to touch the bottom of the pool.
