The Saturday before school started we decided to go to Antelope Island. We wanted to do one more thing before school started and go somewhere we hadn't been. Then we decided to drag some friends along too! :) It's an interesting place and quite a drive in 2 separate cars when you'd rather just be hanging out and visiting with friends, but we had a great time!
It really is a pretty barren land and we only saw a few buffalo. There were some campsites and nice pavilions there so it might be fun to camp there close to the water, but there are zero trees, so it would be hot!
We stopped in at the visitor's center, then went to one of the pavilions for lunch and then went to the water.
The mommas and some of the younger kids didn't get to go quite as far out into the water as the older kids, so we stayed closer to the little rock island, but those that went further had a blast! The Great Salt Lake is exactly that...a lake of salt....so you float. Matt talked about how if you inhaled you'd really float up and then as you exhaled you'd sink back down, but you really could never drown. I wish I could've gone in further to take pictures of them floating and to try it.
It was a fun trip. We need to look around more, because it would be fun to go to the lake again, but not have to drive clear around to antelope island again. Maybe the marina on the west side....we'll have to ask around. We LOVED having our good friends with us! You guys are awesome! We'll have to plan another adventure soon!
Ha ha! That sand was HOT HOT!! Hurry!
