Star Gazing!The Boise Astronomical Society held their 24th annual Idaho Star Party at Bruneau Dunes State Park. We decided to camp out and join in the star gazing. Of course I didn't attempt to take any pictures of the stars, which seems kind of silly that I didn't, but oh well!
There were so many wonderful people there totally willing to share with us what they could find in the night sky. I have never seen so many telescopes! Many of them we had to climb ladders to see into the eye piece, but WOW what a sight to behold once you climb up there! We saw entire galaxies, double stars, planets, and shooting stars. Not to mention we got to see our first ever Moon set. The stars really came out once the moon light was gone. It was really a treat to go and experience this wonderful hobby.
Car Camping!
We enjoyed roasting potatoes on the fire. The roasted corn didn't turn out to my dismay. I think it got too hot, so now I am on a mission to master roasting corn at some point when we go camping again.
You'll see the boys enjoyed them selves playing and getting good and dirty. The sand is still coming off of them two days later! Oscar, Thad's half brother, joined in the fun over at our camp site for a while and wanted to take pictures with us. He was just too funny!
At the end of hours of star gazing we curled up all together in our tent and sort of slept, well the boys slept really well, but Steven and I mostly tossed and turned.
