On our way home from the weekend...

Well, a weekend on the road wouldn't be complete if we didn't do something totally spontaneous. Even though we had 5 dogs in the car and were kind of sick of driving, we saw the sign for Antelope Island and said, "Why the heck not?" It started out as an exit off the freeway to grab something to eat and have a potty break, but then it grew into an afternoon at the island. I had never been and Guy had been, but it was when he was a scout, so just a few years.

We saw all sorts of wildlife...birds, antelope, deer and our favorite, the buffalo. We almost didn't get to see these guys. We drove through the entire park and didn't see a sign of them, but then on the way out, we saw a few of them at a watering trough way up on the hill. We stopped to take some pics and then they started down the hill so we had nothing but time on our hands, so we waited to see if they would come closer. It took about 45 minutes for them to walk down the side of the hill and we waited and waited. I took about 100 pictures while we were waiting and finally they were close enough to get this great pic. It was funny cause there were birds riding on their backs.





And how could I forget about these cute things. They were so sick of riding in the car that when we got home, I couldn't get them to stop running around wildly.
