Mapleton Canyon

My family headed up Mapleton Canyon to the Whiting campgrounds. We didn't actual go up until Friday night because of the awful weather. It had rained all day but luckly for us by the time Troy came home from work and we got everything packed up and ready to go the rain stopped. It's only about 20 minutes from our home so very convenient traveling for us. I highly recommend this campsite to everyone. It was covered with trees and so even at the hottest time of the day, it stayed nice and cool. There is a creek that runs through the entire campsite but it was maybe half a foot deep if that and so the kids were able to play in it without me getting nervous. They have very clean bathrooms (huge plus for me) and just overall a very clean campsite. I love the openess of it especially for the kids, they were able to run around and I was able to still keep a good eye on them without having them out of my view. We came back home Sunday morning just in time for church. Our kids were in heaven and so was I. I never thought I would enjoy camping this much but as my kids get older I find myself wanting to be more of a "nature woman." It's refreshing to get away from technology that I rely so much on (phone,tv,computer) and the everyday errands that consume my life. We were able to just focus on our family and there's nothing better then that!

Alyia loved the thought of sleeping in our tent

Jordyn was our best camper. She slept great which always makes the camping experience soooo much better for me!

Teni's friend Trent came up for the day to hang out and have fun

It's not camping without s'mores
