We had a great campsite at Pillsbury. It had lakefront and also a beautiful stream that bordered it. |

Heather, Will and Aunt Val are having fun in the water. |

Heather is planning her next moves in her quest to change the flow of the creek. |

And so the excavation of slimy black debris from the creek begins.... |
 IMG_1559.JPG |
That's quite a handful of slime! |

Will plots out where he wants to erect his dam. |

Tim and Val's humble abode in the beautiful pine trees (and very sloping terrain) |

Larry, Debi and the kids put their tent on the platform so they wouldn't all pile up at one end during the night. |

There were a lot of loons on the water. Their call is haunting in the early morning. |

After the walk to Balanced Rock, the kids pose for a picture. They were *not impressed* with Balanced Rock. |
 IMG_1570.JPG |
Speaking of "balanced", Debi wasn't. She was still trying to recover from her back problem. |

Heather and Will take in some nourishment so that they won't collapse on the way back down the trail. |

MOOSE POOP! Tim's sunglasses were added for size reference. |

Still eating - even after finding the MOOSE POOP! |

At Sunapee Lake beach, Will and Aunt Val spend a long time building a wall to keep the lake out. |
 IMG_1590.JPG |
More reinforcements to the wall.... |
 IMG_1592.JPG |
There were a lot of people at the beach that day! Very pale people who looked like they worked too much. |
 IMG_1594.JPG |
Heather poses for a picture in the water. She is like a FISH! She would have stayed in the water all day! |
 IMG_1595.JPG |
Heather showed us her imitations of every marine animal... whales, dolphins, sea horses, crabs, etc... |
 IMG_1599.JPG |
Then she decided to take up synchronized swimming |
 IMG_1601.JPG |
See how synchronized they are! |
