Last month, while my parents were watching my sister's kids, we all made a trip to Antelope Island. It's the largest island in the Great Salt Lake and, as you can probably guess, there are antelope living there, along with a myriad of birds and best of all: Buffalo. There are around 500 buffalo on the island and you will never know if you will see any or if they are all hiding from you.
One of our favorite things to see on the island is a ranch on the south end. It has the oldest house in Utah still on it original foundation. (That's their claim to fame...) It's a pretty cool old house full of antiques. There's also a barn, farm-hand housing, a spring house (which Papa told the kids is where they took naughty kids to drown them), a chicken coop and horses.
Bryan loves horses. Every day on our way to and from Bethany's house, we pass fields abounding in horses and I hear a constant stream of "Ne-e-e-igh, Ne-e-e-igh" from the back seat.
On this trip to the island, we also go to see people on horseback and hear the excited "ne-e-e-igh, Ne-e-e-igh" as they trotted past. I would highly recommend the drive out there - the kids had a blast!
Here's some pics of our trip (sorry there's a ton!):

You and me got to figure out what you've done to make it so we can't click on your pictures to make them bigger.
Looks like a beautiful day for the island! Did you guys take that first shot? Cool!
Looks like SO much fun!!!
Reminds me of the trip we all took to the island a couple years ago. Bryan was only about 6 weeks old then. My, how time flies! :)
