Camping on Antelope Island, taking a dip in the Great Salt Lake

We met the Karney family and the Kanshepolsky/Gotshalks at White Rock campground on Antelope Island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake for a camping trip. Pete joined the camping event for one night. 

Here's the movie: https://youtu.be/hY8ocFNtamo
We saw the most beautiful sunset while we were driving onto the island on the causeway. 

We camped at the White Rock group site. 
The food was crazy good. Karney and the guys made dutch oven potatoes (with bacon!) and salmon the first night and fajitas the second night.

Jovie danced on the bales of straw in the trailer. We picked up eight bales of straw from a farmer in Layton to set up our outdoor theater for Peanuts Movie Night. More on that later.
 We hiked to Buffalo Point right from our campsite and we were rewarded with a rocky playground and a great view of the lake.  





We hiked a long long way across dry lake bed (stopping halfway to make sandcastles) so we could take a dip in the salty lake. All the kids howled when they immersed their bug bite-y legs in the water.

Avi, Paige, Morgan, Isaac, Jovie, Ellie sit on the hay wagon. 

The kids were sandy, salty, and bug-bitten at the end of the adventure.
