On August 13-15, we went camping at one of our new favorite places- Box Elder Campground near Mantua. We have recently learned that it is a good idea to get reservations there before going. Most of the sites are pretty good, but the best ones get taken fast. Our kids love a couple of them that have a stream running to the side of our camp. It is a beautiful site and conveniently close to home!
This is what we consider "easy camping". We slept in our camp at night and spent some time there during the day, but then also went out and did some fun activities around town, too.
Friday we went on a walk around the lake in Mantua. It was really hot that morning with not much shade so I would probably do this in the evening the next time.
Later that evening, we headed over to Brigham City (which is only about 5 miles away) and went swimming in the pool and afterwards ate at Pizza hut.
All 3 of my little ones loved the big water slide so much, I'd bet they each went on it 20 times! They just kept wanting to go on it over and over again! And, for the little ones who can't swim yet, that meant mom or dad was going with them. It is fun to see how brave they have gotten. Heidi has really caught on with swimming and Jared is trying really hard to learn. It was a blast!
Now, this is my kind of camping! We spent some time at camp, but also had access to swimming, activities, and restaurants :)
