NB helped me out on this picture. Our New York campground was WET and dreary, but as I was coming out of the bathhouse, I noticed these small flowers on the sidewalk. NB followed me after I grabbed my camera and held up the flower so I could get a better picture of it. I love that the kids will take a much closer look at things when I whip out my camera. They also have taken to slowing down and looking for the little somethings to show me and have me take the picture of their find. I love that they pay attention to the beauty of this world, and know that sometimes you have to look for the beauty amongst things that may not really draw your eye. A little life lesson that will serve them well.
We took an afternoon to stay local and checked out the fort associated with our campground. While I'm sure the fort itself was fascinating, we were more taken with the shoreline, so that's where we stayed. We met an extended family group there who really liked our van. Turned out one of the families was from Louisville, CO!
After the fort, we headed out to Gunnison's Orchard to get some cider doughnuts. The pie also looked good, so we ended up taking home a carmel walnut apple pie. Oh me oh my. That was glorious. We also drove around a bit. Drove right by the set tour of the original Star Trek series. A bit more money than I was willing to part with, so we just kept on truckin'.
Mostly we were taken with Vermont from this site, so we kept crossing the bridge. We need to find more campsites in Vermont.
