When Susan wanted to go camping Labor Day Weekend I thought we'd never find a spot! I'm so glad that she didn't give up on looking for reservations! She found a great campground just up Diamond Fork Canyon (about 9 miles up Spanish Fork Canyon) and we had a great time!
We left Friday after the kids got out of school, drove to the canyon, got our camp set up and had a fabulous dinner. Saturday morning we started off with breakfast, hanging out and playing around and then decided to take the 2.5 mile hike to the hot pools and let the kids swim. Unfortunately it started raining a few minutes after we arrived, and the thunder and lightning were frightful so we got all the kids back out of the water, dried off and dressed and then just as we were getting ready to leave it stopped raining (Bummer!) and then we started the 2.5 mile hike back down the mountain. It was still a lot of fun! We saw several snakes and lizards! We got back to camp and had another wonderful dinner followed by roasted starbursts (a new thing Susan introduced us to!) and then got the kids in bed and the adults and kids 12 and over roasted marshmallows! SO MUCH FUN! Really my favorite part of camping was hanging out by the campfire each night for a little bit with everyone, telling stories, playing word games, singing and then after awhile putting the younger kids to bed and staying up with the older kids and adults! Sunday the guys and older kids went target shooting, I stayed back and read my book, hung out in the hammock and just relaxed. And then Monday we hung out a little, cleaned up and came home. We had such a fun time, I can't wait to do it again!
