Antelope Island

For Labor Day we went on a last minute camping trip. Since it was last minute, we ended up on Antelope Island because it was the only available camping spot. It didn't matter where we were though. It was just fun to get away for a couple of days, eat hobo dinners (my kids thought that was hilarious... they asked why on earth someone would name a dinner after homeless people???), and tell campfire stories. Matt graced us all with the legendary story of the Master King Buffalo. It was the most nonsensical story I have ever heard, but somehow the kids were still a little scared that the Master King Buffalo would get them. The two little one's even went straight to bed with no fuss (hallelujah!!) because the Master King Buffalo doesn't like whiny kids. :) Luke's favorite part was the ancient song about him that's been taught generation after generation. It was REALLY hard for me not to laugh as Matt was making the song up as he went. It was even funnier when Maya asked him to sing the song to her again the next day. I couldn't help but laugh as Matt tried to explain his way out of that one because there's no way he could remember it. We all had so much fun that we decided to make it a yearly tradition. Not necessarily the Antelope Island part, but for sure the over night camping on Labor Day weekend.
