Golden Sunset at Antelope Island

Dar had fall break last Thursday and Friday, and it was SO nice to have him home for a couple extra days with us, but it went by WAY too fast! We wanted to do something fun during his time off, so on Thursday we went to visit my family and took a short trip out to Antelope Island with my Dad and niece, Dakoda (we didn't get any pictures of them, but they were there!). It's been years since I've been to the island, but this was the first time for Darwin & Aurora. I wish we'd had more time, but we can always go again :)

We got there just a couple hours before sunset, and it was almost the perfect time. We weren't able to see a couple things because they closed at 5. We'll have to go a little earlier next time.
We saw some wildlife
A different view of the Wasatch Mountains
Salt Lake City off in the distance
The sun getting ready to set
Dar caught a brine shrimp: the only thing that lives in the water
We got to stick our feet in the Great Salt Lake
Our traditional family photo shoot :)
Cool sillouhette Dar took of me and the munchk
And the amazingly beautiful golden sunset was absolutely breathtaking!!
