The Great Sugar Lake

Today we got up early and were in the Salt Lake City area by lunchtime. We grabbed some sandwiches and headed for Antelope Island State Park. Antelope Island is just off the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. It is gorgeous and fairly convenient to the highway. As we sat under a shelter at the beach eating our lunch Lilly said, "Is this a Great Salt Lake or a Great Sugar Lake (big crooked, cheesy grin)?" I'm sure she wished for the latter! We had a really nice time picnicing and enjoying the peaceful solitude of this ecological marvel. Here are a few shots...

The kids have done really well. Nora lost it for a little bit prior to our break at Antelope Island. We arrived in Rock Springs, WY chipper and ready for a nice swim. Some pizza and (more) watermelon in our bellies helped too!
