Camping at Mirror Lake

We finally got our camping trip in for the summer.  We have done a lot of fun things but the one thing that I wanted to do was go camping.  We got a late start but found a nice camp spot in the mirror lake camp grounds.  We were right next to the bathrooms which is what we needed for Abby.  We were also not to far from the lake.  It was a beautiful night.  It was a lot cooler but we had a fire, so we were all nice and toastie.  We roasted hot dogs for dinner and marshmallows for dessert.  Out tent is pretty small so we all spent close.  We kids all slept good.  In the morning we had eggs, sausage, and banana bread.  We made hot chocolate to warm us up.  Dan made a nice fire.  The kids had fun exploring and playing games in the woods.  At 1:00 it was time to check out so we drive to the lake and walked around the boardwalk again.  The kids saw tons of baby fish and some larger fish also.  It was lots of fun.  After that we drove all around and checked out lots of different camp sites.  We wanted to find the best ones for next year.  Then we went to the Provo Falls.  The kids had there swim clothes on and were able to play in the falls.  At one the falls Britton and Bryson found a huge hole.  It was so deep that Dan could hold on to Brittons hands and lower him into the hole and Britton couldn't touch the bottom.  So Dan filled the hole with huge rocks to try and make it a little safer for a little kid that might fall in.  This was such a fun camping trip.  It is amazing how much easier camping gets when the kids are a little older.
