Labor Day Trip to Antelope Island


Jared and the kids went for their first time on a drive to Antelope Island. That day, the Island had a pioneer event where the kids made their own candles, and rings. Madeline dropped her candle in the dirt and Jared put more wax on top making the souvenir complete with dirt from Antelope Island. Ethan's candle was perfect. We went and had a picnic dinner and then got our swimsuits to go in the Great Salt Lake. It is true about being able to float. You don't even have to try and you float. Just be careful if you dunk and water gets in your eyes - it stings!!!! We had to walk out onto the beach a ways because the water level has receded several hundred feet and then it slopes ever-so-gently. It doesn't get deep for several hundred more feet into the lake. We ended the night with a trip to Dairy Queen for a blizzard.

Wow, that sounds like such a full, fun day! If we ever come visit maybe you can take us there. And I'm so glad you finally started a blog - took you long enough!
