Camping Trip

We went camping, or "glamping" (glamour camping), last Saturday. It was a lot of fun. We started with lunch at Helvatia Tavern.

 And then drove the 30 minutes to Stubb Stewart Campground. They have BEAUTIFUL cabins there... so while it was quite chilly outside, the warmth inside the cabin was lovely. Owen and Pengu were very excited to sleep in their "worm sleeping bag".

 It was beautiful there... a great day to play catch.

 We played games and worked on a little homework too.

 We walked up to watch the sunset.

 My new favorite picture!

 
 Beautiful

 Owen was directing the sunset.

 Owen was so helpful setting up camp. He also learned that camping includes a lot of waiting...

 But while waiting, he got to play with a stick. Boys are pretty easy to make happy. The stars were beautiful at night. It's one nice thing about winter camping, the stars are out a lot earlier than in the summer... Owen loved all the stars.

We had a great time. I'm excited for our next trip.

There were a troop of boy scouts camping in the cabins too. They took up about eight cabins. Boy scouts and cabin camping seemed a little silly to me. But the kicker was when they set up an outdoor screen and watched Star Wars. This is a different kind of camping from when my dad was a boy scout.
