Bing Canyon

My mom was serving as a cook at her stake's youth trek.  She did it four years ago also and enjoyed it.  She invited us to come visit one of the days.  We live only about 35 minutes away from the canyon so we thought it would be doable. 

We talked to my mom for awhile and then decided to go on a "hike" while she got some treats ready for the trekkies.

It was a fairly flat and short hike.  Which was perfect for our group.  Yet we still needed walking sticks for the trip.

And stopping to play in the dirt.  Hannah loves dirt.  So does everyone else.

We found some super murky water with an old canoe.  Some of my kids thought they should explore it a bit closer but I nixed that idea.

Back in camp Whitney conquered the benches surrounding the fire pit.

We also had a yummy sack lunch.  It was a left over from the youth.  My kids were ecstatic to find goldfish crackers and brownies in their lunch.

Then we all pitched in to help make the next days lunch.  Here Megan adds apples to all the bags.

Taking a break to sing primary songs with another one of the cooks.

And bonus picture.  My parents went on an Alaskan cruise right before trek.  They brought back shirts for all the kids.  So here they are in their adorable Alaskan shirts.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa.
