Antelope Island

An Irish friend of mine was casually talking about Antelope Island one day, I interrupted and said "I have never been to Antelope Island."  He said "You have lived in Utah your WHOLE life and you've never been to Antelope Island?"  That naturally got me thinking that I need to fix my Antelope Island Ignorance.  When I got home I discovered that Terrill had never been to Antelope Island either!  So on Labor day we decided to take a day trip.  It is a long drive- and there are some smelly bits, especially on the causeway... but it was truly a fun day!  The views are breathtaking, the Bison are HUGE, and the kids smiles were even bigger.  The beach is a little buggy (seriously, what are those bugs? )  Makaylee made a sport of running through them and watching them swarm up in circles around her legs (gross!)  My germ-o-phobia was in full swing, "Don't touch that mouse, you could get the bubonic plague (hey, it has made a comeback!)  "Don't put your hands in your mouth after you touched that water!", "Watch out for that Bison Pie!"  Terry had to bring me down a few times, but we all survived.  I think we may even go back again sometime soon, and this time we will bring our swim suits and see if we really float!
