boats and snails and a dragonfly

Yesterday we went boating with friends along the River Wey. Here's the rowboat that mysteriously disappeared for a very long while, and they later blamed it on the boat having no rudder. The canoe didn't have a rudder either, and it managed to get stuck in the reeds but then set off at a fair clip. Olivia loves bugs and crawly things, and we did some snail hunting in the nettles. Here's one of many beautiful dragonflies we saw along the river.
