Lets just say that our family get togethers are always exciting one way or another...
Last weekend, we decided to go to Antelope Island. It has been years and years since any of us had been out there. So Chris, Sarah, Dawson, Me, Jer and of course Heather all piled into the van. So we are driving along and we spot a bison. So we pull over to take a pic with Jeremy and the buffalo. Well, to get a good picture, He had to get out of the car. Right as I am about to take a picture Sarah freaks out because there were HUGE spiders all over in the bushes right where Jeremy was standing. Now, spiders in general are completely disgusting. These ones were so BIG and it didn't help matters that we had watched Arachnaphobia the night before...so Jeremy jumps in the van and off we went. But now we were all too paranoid about the spiders to even get out of the car. So if you go to the island BEWARE OF THE BUSHES!!
So we headed down the "Utah Beach". It was hot hot hot and I do not remember the LONG walk from the parking lot to the water but it felt like forever. So as we are walking and trying not to complain too much, our favorite little sister says, "Man, they sure put a lot of sand out here." We couldn't help but laugh! We love having her with us. So I took a pic of her and all that sand!!!
On top of being hot and smelly, as you get closer to the lake there are tons and tons of little tiny flies. Needless to say, with all of the big spiders and the hot sun the bugs were not what we wanted. Jeremy was walking toward the water and there were so many bugs that it looked like the ground was moving! It was quite gross. As you can tell by the looks on our faces...we won't be returning to Antelope Island any time soon...

Ha! That's hilarious! Thanks for the tip though... we have been wanting to go out there. Maybe we'll bypass that adventure... :s
You guys are so sweet. We love you to pieces! Yeah the whole car accident thing sucks, I hate not having my own car. I swear I don't know how some people survive with only one car! And if you have been trying to call, as I'm sure Travis told you, my phone decided to freak out and die on me yesterday. So I have no phone or car for the time being. I'm a mess. Ha. Anyways we want to get together with you guys.. SOON! Look at all the fun stuff you've been doing without us! GEEZ! Thanks for the offer to let us use your truck, we seriously appreciate it so much and may have to take you up on it next week. We love you guys!
Ofcourse I don't mind, I sneek peeks at yours every now and then. That dog is so cute, he really does look like a stuffed animal. How are things going?
