Beach Day

A few weekends ago we took the kids to Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake. In all my thirty years of life, it was the first time I had ever seen or touched it! We took swimsuits, but it was really windy and too cold to get in and test the tales of salt water buoyancy. We also, inexplicably took two pairs of sandals for Cassidy, which turned out to be serendipitous because she lost one on the long trek through the sand out to the water. Sorry, lake huggers, the black size two sandal ruining the Antelope Island ecosystem that day was our fault -- but the reason it was lost is because it sunk down in a sand dune while on her foot, and then didn't come back out when said foot was picked up to take another step, so perhaps no one will ever find it?? Ever since our day trip, which involved no waves, no sand castles, no beach towels, and no swimsuits, Rebecca has referred to it as Beach Day. "Mom, remember beach day? It was so much fun."
