4 Years Ago...

Though this is probably the last year we will go, John and I have made a tradition to return every year to the spot where he proposed to me. It's on an island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. While the gnats are always undesirable, this year was particularly bad.
Granted, we were warned by a sign at the park entrance, we thought we had the insect repellent to ward them off... but I SWEAR, these gnats LIKED the repellent! We didn't make it to the exact spot John proposed due to us getting bit up and worrying about how bit up Rhett was getting that we decided to take pictures at a spot that had shade and turn around and head back. We also decided that the gnats were not worth coming every year and having to deal with. However, here are the family pictures from our trip!

The Great Salt Lake behind us. Kind of looks like a wave less ocean... but MORE salty!


I swear this is the ONLY tree on the island.... it's a place we stop and take a break at every year because it's the first source (and only) of shade on our journey to Elephant Rock where John proposed... this was as far as we made it this year!
