Antelope Island

There are many things to do in Utah, that even growing up here I have not done. One of those things is visiting Antelope Island. Well, we finally ventured out to the island and had lots of fun during our visit. Our first stop was, of course, the visitor center. Who knew there was a visitor center on the island. We then made our way to a picnic area next to one of the "beaches." Well, as beach-like as you can get in Utah. I guess I've been spoiled after living in New Jersey and having actual beaches, but for the desert, it wasn't too bad.

Joseph, Sean and Mom made the 1/2 mile trek out to the water. The boys had lots of fun skipping rocks on the lake. I'm not sure if because the lake is so salty that the rocks actually skipped several times, or if it is because we were in the shallow water. But we had fun skipping rocks. The boys really just threw the rocks--any size and shape--head on into the water and they actually skipped. We had fun.

First Day of School

Joseph started preschool this month. He has the same teacher as last year, so it was an easy transition back into the school year for him. He goes to school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I think he is ready for a longer school week, though. He asks everyday if it is a school day. But that day will soon come and he'll be asking for a shorter school week! :)

Sean is such a big boy, he wishes he is going to school. But he is practicing going to school everytime we take Joseph. Joseph handed down his old book bag to Sean, so Sean has to take his book bag with us everyday we take Joseph to school; both to drop him off and pick him up.

Joseph's first day of school was actually a parent/student orientation. So Mom and Joseph packed up and went to school. Uncle David was kind enough to spend his day with Sean and Tyler. They did so much stuff with each other, that the next thing to do was. . . .sleep!
