Yesterday, Ben, Izzy and I went to Long Pond in Ledyard to get out of the heat. Izzy spent most of the time swimming!

This morning, Will, Elsa (who is visiting us for part of the summer), Izzy and I took two boards and Hoagie and headed to Amos Lake in Preston. Another lake that was perfect for swimming. On the way out we saw a small eastern painted turtle heading to the water. After a quick picture, Will returned helped it on its journey to the lake edge.
