Trip to NH (4) - Saco River and Mt. Jefferson

At this point you are probably feeling like you were actually on vacation with us...right? :) We spent a fun afternoon one day canoeing and kayaking eight miles down the Saco River. Nana, Ben and I started off in the canoe and Papa, Mike, Brad and Christina in the kayaks. Ben was an awesome passenger and had a blast shooting all the kayakers with his squirt gun (and Nana's back). We took several breaks for snacks and swimming. Mike let me steal his kayak for a couple of miles of the trip too. It was really relaxing and fun.

Our last day in NH we decided to hike to the top of Mt. Jefferson. It wasn't a very long hike, but it turned out to be too technical and dangerous for someone carrying a three year old on their back. We ended up having to turn around about two miles into the hike (I was so bummed, but we didn't want to risk the little man getting hurt...or anyone else for that matter!), fortunately we still got to see some pretty amazing views and I captured some cool pictures. We ended the afternoon with a walk around a beautiful lake (can't recall the name now).
