the salt flats...

last saturday we headed out to the salt flats to take some family photos. we thought it might be a 1 1/2 hour drive...but apparently it's about 2 1/2 hours! i thought it was well worth the drive and the photos. we got to wendover around 1pm and ate lunch and then headed out to do pics. eden was beyond tired since it was right at her nap time. she was a stinker and didn't really cooperate for any photos...(shocker). but i love the ones we did get. john is still editing most of them, so here are a few that have been touched up so far!

that place is amazing. miles and miles of dried up salt that looks white as snow, but is hard as sand. there were areas that hadn't dried up completely yet, so we plan on heading back sometime in august when they are racing out there and the flats are completely dry.

even though the drive was long for the kids, i think they had fun. i am planning on doing a fun activity with them every other saturday. i've lived here for 16 years now and have yet to enjoy and explore the state! i've never been to Moab, Canyonlands, Arches, Kennecott Mine, Timp Cave, Goblin Valley, Capitol Reef, Escalante, Vernal Dinosaur Museum, and on and on! it is going to take a lot of driving and a few over-nighters, but i want to have a fun summer with the kids exploring this great state!
