Catch up #3--Day Trip to Antelope Island

Bry and I made a goal this year to start doing "day trips" to local Utah sites. My family did this when we first moved to Georgia and we loved getting to know the area, history, sites, etc. So, we decided to do the same thing. Our first day trip was, well, spur of the moment. We went up to see our lot in Farmington, UT and decided that we'd go to Antelope Island and see the Great Salt Lake. I learned two things about the Great Salt Lake that day: 1. It is GREAT and expansive and 2. It is SUPER BUGG-Y. Whenever we stepped outside of the car we were bombarded with gnats and mosquitoes. I can't handle bugs too well so we pretty much stayed in the truck the whole time and did a sight-seeing tour inside :).

There's a lot of random wild life on this one little island. This is a prong-horned antelope that we spotted just off the road.

There was a high point that seemed safe to take a hike so we covered Cami with her jacket, socks, and hat. We made it about five minutes out before we turned around :).

More random wild life behind us. These are a huge herd of Buffalo. Crazy! They were all over the island just grazing and hanging out. :)

See, they really are Buffalo :). Day trip number one was a lot of fun (minus the bugs it would've been great!). We're hoping to hit up quite a few places in UT this summer (when we stop going out of town every weekend! :). More to come!
