New Hampshire

We arrived in Concord, New Hampshire and found a wonderful woodsy/rustic campground.  We loved it here.  We were off in a back corner, with just a couple of other campers, except on the weekends. 

 

 

The campground we stayed at had a long history of families who returned year after year, for generations.  They had a dance each month. which the kids just loved.  It was in a building, which had one wall that opened completely, to make it sort of pavillion-ish.  One of the most popular activities at the evening dances was playing with the glowsticks outside the pavillion!

 

         

 

While we were in New Hampshire, we visited a place called the Flume.  It is an awesome little place up in the mountains, where a river cuts through the mountains.  It's been turned into a delightful park with a nice trail for walking. 

 

 

There were fascinating rock formations, and places where boulders had been deposited, seemingly randomly.  Several places, there were trees which took root in a little bit of organic matter on top of a boulder, and grew there, the roots stretching around the boulder, looking for water.  We couldn't resist taking a picture of our little Daniel curled up in the roots of this tree (notice the boulder behind him):

 

 

While we were in New Hampshire we visited the ocean, and the kids loved playing in the sand and the water.  We also took them to the Pittsfield balloon festival.  They loved seeing the hot air balloons being inflated.  After dark they did something they called an "afterglow" which was just beautiful!

 

         

 

We loved New Hampshire, and it was the first place in our travels that we would have considered making a home!
