Tonight we decided to go to Antelope Island to watch the sunset. It was a last minute trip and I thought we would just take a little walk along the path with the kids and Charlie. As we were entering the park the gate attendant told Dave one of the best places to watch the sunset was up a gravel path by Buffalo Point. We both thought it was this small path and decided to do it.
As we started up it was much farther and steeper than I thought. Dave was wearing flip flops, Quinn crocs and me Toms, so we were not ready for any "hiking." Dave and Quinn were both all about it anyway and up we went. Dave and Charlie were the only ones to make it to the very top of the trail to see the sunset. We have been neglecting Charlie lately and I think he was very happy to get to enjoy the great outdoors.
I wanted to just sit on a bench with Quinn and Leo while Dave went to the top and we would just see him when he got back down but Q was not having that. As soon as she saw him start walking up the trial she said, "Daddy go to the top. Lets go mommy!" So on we went.... we didn't make it all the way but we went farther than I wanted!
A little Leo selfie while Dave and Quinn hiked too fast for this out of shape mama.
As we were leaving the park the car in front of us almost hit a buffalo because it was dark and it was standing in the middle of the road! It was a fun evening (minus getting West Nile Virus). Quinn loves to hike and it was nice to get outside and enjoy this beautiful place we live in.
Sunsets are good, life is good.
