Yesterday we took an impromptu trip to Antelope Island. It's been something we've wanted to do for a while, wishing to visit the island we look at everyday from our back door.
There we visited Buffalo point (where we saw a buffalo), the ranch (where we saw more buffalo and talked to some ladies from the Northern Utah Fiber Arts Guild who I might take some spinning lessons from once the kids go back to school - so I can learn to hand-spin my alpaca fiber!), ate at the Buffalo Grill and went to the "beach"

can you spot the buffalo?
there he is...

traversing the desert to get to the lake
...as we got closer to the water, you could hear a distinctive buzz, about 10 feet from the shore, literal clouds of gnats. hovering to about 4 feet off the ground. This is a sad baby because she wanted to go in the water with Finn, but didn't want to walk through the clouds of gnats. It took us girls 3 tries to get to the water. Daddy and Finn just plodded on through the first time. (ps, I don't like bugs)
Brine shrimp
brine shrimp everywhere...
in the water...
