Family fun

On Saturday, David and I took the boys and the dogs on a hike up Waterfall Canyon. The mist from the waterfall was freezing. Ben was almost soaked from just running around in the mist. The trail was rocky and hard to climb. We struggled to get up, but we all made it. Even the dogs were worn out by the top. Adam, Ben and Scott all slipped or tripped on the rocks at least twice. This last picture is the first of two bridges we walk over going back down the trail. Sunday, we took a drive out to Antelope Island. The bugs were like black clouds on the side of the road. We saw antelope, buffalo, jackrabbits and all types of birds. David and I even saw a coyote in the grass right off the beach. The picture of David with the buffalo was out the van window. The buffalo was less than 20 feet away from our van. It was laying down when we first drove up, but as we were getting the camera, he started rocking. We thought he was trying to get the bugs off, but then he rolled to his feet and stood up, keeping his head to the side, not actually looking at us. The top of his shoulders came to the top of our van.
