Camping

We haven't had much of a chance to do anything this summer since Lars has been teaching summer school so last week we decided to go camping. We packed up the tent trailer and headed up the mountain. I wanted to try somewhere new. I did an online search and found this place, pretty close to home but far enough to be away. ;) It was really nice. Our campsite was next to a small stream so I fell asleep each night to the gentle, soothing sounds of a babbling brooke. It was heavenly. 
While there we found out that you can borrow a GPS from the parks visitor's center (for free!) and geocache. The park itself has two locations. It was a fun treasure hunt, the kids are now hoping for a family GPS so we can do it some more. If you don't know what geocaching is check it out. 

The campground is near this resort. It is home to what is called “The Crater”.  It is a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock that is naturally hallow and has warm mineral water. (Again this is all natural. They only man-made part is the entrance.) It is really amazing.

If you are ever up near the Heber/Midway area in Utah you should check it out. 


It was nice to get away, cook camping type foods, roast marshmallows with my kids, and just spend time with my family. (Don't love the bug bites but I get those at home anyhow.)
