This weekend consisted of Boondocks, father/son camp out, helping Kelly's bro. move, yard work, house work, and a little jaunt northward to Antelope Island. Not the Dead Sea exactly but close enough for now...Antelope Island which is surrounded by the Great Salt Lake was squeezed into our weekend at the last minute. We brought a picnic, played in the warm water, played catch, and skipped a billion rocks! All I heard most of the afternoon was, "Mom, watch!" X4!!!!! I had to say over and over that I couldn't watch ALL of the rocks being skipped!!!! The rocks that cover the beach and are found in the water, are very flat, shale like rocks and therefore the PERFECT skipping rocks! I think they would skip on dry land they are that good! We saw antelope grazing and a few jack rabbits too. Nice family time but I hope next weekend is a little slower!!!!

Fantastic pictures! And yes, next weekend should be slower because it's supposed to rain--ugh!!! When am I going to train?! p.s. Those cupcakes and cookies were so thoughtful and delicious (Hailey was nice enough to share one...)

I love the pic of Noah with his reflection in the water. Looks like such a great family activity.
