The Great Salt Lake

Hillary kindly reminded me that I needed to post an update so here it is.

The kids are off track now so Courtnie and I were trying to think of some new things we could do that might be fun for them and get us out of the house.

So, you are asking yourself, Why would they want to go to the Great Salt Lake?? I've heard that question a lot this week! Well, WHY NOT?? If you can get past the salt, bugs and sulfur smell it isn't so bad. First we went to the marina. There is a little look out that they must have built for the Olympics. We climbed down the rocks to the water, which was somewhat comical in flip flops.

Then we drove a little farther down and started walking trying to make it to the water to play for a little while, it was quite a walk! There was no way to get through the mud but straight through it. The water wasn't deep and the kids had a great time running and splashing.
