Antelope Island 2009


We went to Antelope Island this summer with Angie and family. It was really really hot, but really really fun!! We started our adventure by seeing a herd of Bison crossing the road. The kids were so excited to see them charging down the mountain side and pass right by our car!! Our first stop was at Garr Ranch. We ate lunch and walked around the Ranch reading and exploring what it was like living there in the early 1900's.





There were a lot of things to see and do, but the best was walking in the BURNING HOT sand about 1 mile to the bug infested Great Salt Lake. We walked and burned our feet and sweat just to get with in feet and turn around screaming and swatting away from the swarming Brine Flies that stuck to our bodies and freaked out all the children. All the children but Hayden who insisted he touch the water! So he braved the smothering flies and walked into the water boot and all!
