Hiking Antelope Island for New Year 2012!

With the unusually warm and dry weather we experienced this year for New Year's we decided to go to Antelope Island and take a little hike.  We had a wonderful time - it was actually pretty warm when we started the hike and we saw a huge herd of buffalo, some mule deer, antelope, and a coyote.  There weren't any bugs because of the time of year so that was definitely a plus.  When the hike ended as the sun was going down it did get pretty cold but both MaKayla and Cru were troopers and did really well on this fun hike.


Here is cute Cru in his froggy hat - he had a hard time keeping his mittens on so his hands ended up getting cold.  But you can see that he was still pretty happy as we started our trek.

Look at our cute Kayla - she dressed warm and did great.  We need to remind these men with the long legs that these little ones are going to walk a little slower and will have a hard time keeping up.  Besides you should take your time and enjoy the scenery.

Here's Kelli and Kayla bringing up the rear.  Look at the beautiful blue sky for January 1st!

Ray and Kayla were finishing up the hike just as the sun was going down.  It was so much fun!

Look at me - riding in the front of the truck - I am AWESOME!!

Cru had enough hiking and was exhausted...so sweet!

I always have to take a driving picture for these events - doesen't Ray look happy to be having his picture taken?

Good times and a good way to start 2012!
