Labor Day Monday...

So Nate had a paid holiday off- Labor Day- and it was nice to enjoy it together as a family.  We decided to make a picnic lunch, invite his sister Kimberly and her family, and head up to Antelope Island State Park in Syracuse ( http://utah.com/antelope-island-state-park ).  It is just a little over an hour drive and the park entrance fee is only $10 a car which isn't bad since its a state park and you get to see Buffalo and do a little hiking and can play in the sand and splash in the Great Salt.  It's well worth it!

Once we got to the beach like place to have a picnic we all unloaded and gobbled up our food, the kids got to play in the sand, and just before we were going to head the little ways walk to put our feet in the Great Salt Lake Paisley ended up getting a migraine which sent Nate (who took Emery) with him to the store to pick up ibuprofen and caffeine, me hanging out while holding Paisley in the shaded pavillion area (Kimberly, Clara, Avery, and baby Sammy) up in the sandy area, while Stephen took Adey and Charlie to the water.

I managed to get a few photos once Nate got back (I even played around with my tripod).  Also Kimberly and her family needed to head out shortly after that too but we stayed so Paisley could feel better not being moved all around (we put her in the stroller to sleep).  Nate taught Adey to fly a kite and we just hung out enjoying the peacefulness.  It was relaxing and fun but sure wish Paisley could have joined us...
