Surprise Field Trip

What do you do when your kids are out of school for UEA??

SURPRISE FIELD TRIP ...
To the GREAT SALT LAKE!!!

I've been wanting to go all summer,
but it just didn't happen,
so, last week when the kids were off school,
I took them on the surprise field trip of a lifetime :)
I was bummed, because Salt Aire was closed
but we went to the marina and found a "beach".

View of Antelope Island

The mountians just east of Salt Lake

They weren't so sure about it at first ...
The kids on their own little island

The sand tickling our toes :)

Getting a little braver ...

Attempting to make sand castles

The shirts come off ...

The kids are already begging to go back!

I guess when you have never seen a REAL beach,

The GREAT SALT LAKE beach does just fine!
