The Great Salt Lake

A couple of weeks ago we went on a fun trip to Antelope island. We wanted to go down to the beach so Connor parked and we thought we would be taking a shortcut. The way was definitely shorter, but it was filled with HUGE spiders, and they were everywhere! Connor and I were freaking out the whole time and Bronwen kept telling us that it will be okay because she will protect us. It was fun once we finally got to the beach. Connor and the girls had no hesitation going right in. By the end Connor even convinced me to sit down in it. It was a little gross, but it was actually a lot of fun. After we left the beach we decided to go see the bison. It was awesome, except for the part where Connor almost hit one that was bigger than our car. That was freaky, but all in all it was great fun.

Camping in the Uintahs

On Friday we went camping up in the Uintahs. It was absolutely gorgeous! I had a ton of pictures, but they were mysteriously erased. So, when we got home there were only 4 pictures on my camera. I was really bummed. Here are two of the pictures. We had a really great time. It was nice to get away from the heat for a while. As you can see there is still a little bit of snow up there. In the first picture if you look really closely you can see Bronwen and Howard climbing up to touch the snow.

My bead board project.

I finally finished this project! It actually wouldn't have taken very long, but I just didn't get around to it for a while. I just added bead board to the walls above the counter tops. The project would have only cost about $30.00, but I ended up buying a power saw which made it so much easier. I actually think it looks much better in person, the pictures don't really do it justice.
