The Great Salt Lake!

Two weeks ago Jayden and I drove up to visit Tiffany and Colt and the boys. First we met them at the farm and then we drove up to Logan and went to Gossners and got cheese and then we went to Pepperidge Farm and stocked up on Gold fish crackers. We then got lunch and ate at the park before visiting the Willard Park Zoo. After that we went back to our hotel and swam with the boys and then spent some time at the farm. We spent like an hour watching a hen trying to lay an egg. Apparently she didnt lay it until long after we were gone. Must have been a GIANT egg! We spent the rest of the night watching movies on HBO! On our way home I told Jayden we would stop at the ocean, which is actually the great salt lake. I thought we could spend a few hours playing on the beach. Well the water was like 10 miles from where we parked the car(Not really it just felt like it), the sand was very hot to walk on and it quite possibly could have been sinking sand! The flies were absolutely disgusting and if things werent bad enough after about 5 minutes my legs were on fire from the salty water. I did not enjoy it but Jayden sure did!

Silly boy playing in the water. He wouldnt put his swimsuit on!

Collecting brine shrimp.

The darker spots in the middle that look like wet sand are actually tiny little annoying flies! GROSS!!!

The things you do to keep Jayden happy! :) It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! I've never been to the Great Salt Lake, and from your pictures of it, I think I'll keep my distance.

Yea I wouldnt reccomend it! People would walk all the way down to the water with their tubes and towels and would turn right around and come back up! It was pretty funny!
