Vacation – day 3

Daddy packed up the campsite and Mommy took us on a walk to the interpretive center (which was closed!).  But we did see some covered wagons, the trail they went on to reach the ferry on the river, and some signs telling of life in the 1830s.  It was cool seeing the wagon grooves still there!

DSC01324 Today we went to Salt Lake City!  We saw bison (my new favorite animal) and entered the Great Salt Lake.  Isn’t the reflection on the lake pretty?  Here are the antelope on Antelope Island.

DSC01427  It was super hot.  The air was hot, the sun was hot, and the sand was hot.  Hot, hot, hot.DSC01406 After wading through stinky algae and hordes of brine shrimp, we are finally up to our knees in water.  The Great Salt Lake is very shallow.  I don’t like it at all.  The salt got in my eyes and mixed with the sunscreen and I cried all the way back to the car.  Mommy and Daddy both laid back and floated.  Zachy too.  The water was warm and full of itty bitty creatures.DSC01409 I didn’t like the cold shower after either.  This bug drove with us all the way off Antelope Island.DSC01414 We saw the bison and antelope on the island.  Cool!DSC01416

We camped at Cherry Hill.  It was city camping with not much room to run around.  Zachy and I collected all lots of little, rotten apples in the campground and made a big pile.  Sweet dreams!

Love, Elena
