I took a lot of pictures of Owen. He loved camping!
Owen loved helping Dad with the fire. He threw sticks in it, he blew on it when Jason would, he tried to break the fire wood like Jason did. It was really sweet. I had a little anxiety when he went near it, but he was very good to stay back and not try to play in it. We made tinfoil dinners and they were delish!
The highlight for me was definitely the microwave popcorn cooked over the hot coals. When I threw the popcorn in our bag Jason said "you're cute babe"...like, oh what a silly girl, thinking she can cook microwave popcorn over the fire. Well, it worked and it was maybe the best microwave popcorn I've ever had!
Seriously...he loved everything about camping. He was so happy to be outside, playing in the dirt, running wild! It was so great. I am so glad we decided to take him.
Hanging out by the morning fire having some Dad - Son time.
Throwing rocks in Tony Grove Lake. It was chilly!
Camping is a lot of work and crappy clean up when you get home, but being in the mountains, sitting under the starriest skies ever enjoying God's art makes it totally worth it. We are hoping to get a few more trips in before the snow starts falling(and even then Jason still wants to go..not sure about that).

i am pretty jealous...the idea of going camping is so appealing but then when you get into really thinking about what's involved it is SO easy to just bag it, but i really want to go, i think its good for the kids (if nothing else) to get away from life and just enjoy the beauty around us!!1
That looks like so much fun! You guys are so dang cute. Miss yoU!
How fun!! You guys are so cute!
