Since Mary was with us and had her camera, we actually took a lot of pictures of these things that don't have the horrible resolution of my phone camera. You can see our pictures here.

Our first mission for the day was to drive to Antelope Island. There isn't a lot to say about that that isn't contained in the pictures: We drove about, we saw buffalo and an antelope and various other wildlife and it was terribly exciting. The island is surprisingly large and we spent a few hours there.
When we left, we headed for a thrift store. (First we detoured to Chipotle and ate burritos. Mmmm.) In Utah, thrift stores means Deseret Industries, the Mormon version of the Salvation Army. It was actually an awesome thrift store. We got some cool stuff, like:
- Pillows! We left our pillows at my mother's house.
- A camp set of nesting cookware that screws together nicely including a pan, pot, and cup
- Books to read
- Bags to organize our things so that we can have easier time keeping track of where our stuff is
- Boots for Tomko!
- Small plastic bin to use for laundry and other washing-type uses
And then we went to Temple Square, just for fun. Mary started conversations with a number of missionaries, and they tried to explain Mormonism, although the placards on Mormonism are funny as anything. And Mary brought us back to Clay's, although Clay and Lisa are at some soccer game, so we are watching TV and hanging out for the rest of the night. Perhaps early sleep.
