Tanner had been wanting to go to the Dinosaur Park all Summer long, and we finally made it. (see picture collage at bottom) It is a fun little place tucked away near the Ogden River Trail in Ogden.
Believe it or not, even though Brandon grew up right near Antelope Island in Syracuse(West of Layton), I had never been(or rather he had never taken me) to Antelope Island! In all these years, we had just never taken a trip out there. Well, four kids and almost 12 years later, I finally said, "It's time!" We arrived shortly before sunset so we didn't stay as long as we had wanted, but it was enough to get a little wet and see the beautiful sunset and moon rise. We would like to go back another time for sure. We saw a buffalo(I was pretty excited about that) from afar and some little antelope also.
Now my confession: I had never even touched the Great Salt Lake and now I have! It's a little crazy, I know, but true. I have been to many lakes, both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and even been to Hawaii, but had never had that experience. Maybe recently going to the ocean spurred me on again to want to get there! Zach likes to REALLY get in the water and dunk his head, and boy did he notice how salty it was pretty quick! I guess that's why it was named:
THE Great Salt Lake.
