End of summer hurrah – cafeteria-campout!

The campout crew!

The campout crew! Thanks to Senshu-san (taishou!) for the photo 🙂 

 

Last night the boys and I enjoyed a really memorable campout. It was an unusual campout with an astronomical society. We enjoyed fireworks and stargazing from atop a mountain reached by gondola. While it was wholly different than I expected, the experience was absolutely wonderful, and we are so thankful for new friends! The full story is found at the linked photos below. Have a great week, friends and family! We love you!

Views of the Boso peninsula, Chiba prefecture, across Tokyo Bay from Yokosuka. We can see this mountain and ridgetop profile on our way to school every morning. It was so much fun to finally explore this area, first by ferry, then by gondola to the summit.

While it wasn't the most restful night ever, we're experienced floor-sleepers by now, and can readily recover from a sleepless night. These kids are tremendous adventurers! I love you, boys!
