Some of us took a stroll up to the Balancing Rock in Mt Wachussett State Park, a favorite trail for Uncle Frank to go to. Uncle George is the oldest of the group and was well ahead of us most of the time. Of course we had to try to dislodge the rock. I’m not sayin we did, and if it’s dislodged now, it was fine when we left. Really. No one saw us do a thing!

There is a reservoir system near my uncle’s house that has an old dam that has been bypassed in the watershed. You can see the wall of the original dam in the 3rd photo here. It’s getting taken over by trees on the downstream side. Upstream it appears to have filled in for the most part. The factory that originally used the dam is long gone, with not a trace left, other than this dam ands sluice way that has two waterfalls.

Look at that baby’s blue eyes! I wonder where he gets them from!

We got to see lots of people we hadn’t seen in a while. I made them endure getting some off the cuff group photos done. Mary acted as my assistant by jumping up and down and acting goofy for most of the porch shots. She got busted by some neighbors that laughed at her antics and then agreed to take the photo at the end with the fat guy in the red shirt. We had a blast with all the relatives.
