Had to get my bison selfie. I do it the safe way.
Jeremy also does it the safe way.
Besides seeing bison, we wanted to see birds for the UCB challenge. We got some on the causeway on the way in, some more at Garr Ranch, and some as we drove around the island a bit.
We just needed a few more. We drove to certain places looking for specific birds.
And check out the magpie on the back of the bison. So fun.
We saw some birds out in the distance at one point but weren't exactly sure what they were. We wanted to get our 24 species so I hiked way out taking pictures every once in a while to hopefully identify which birds they were. Until my camera battery died and I had not taken the bag with the extra batteries with me. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Jeremy managed to get a picture through binoculars with his phone of me hiking through the sand. 
Have you ever hiked through sand? I've done quite a bit because of where I grew up.
We figured out those birds were horned larks which Jeremy had guessed even before I went down there.
Later we realized we didn't even need the horned larks for the challenge because we saw a bunch more birds from the causeway on the way out. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
But hey, it made for some good pictures- including me pouring sand out of my shoe.
Besides being Bison Day (and Play Outside Day, the first Saturday of every month), November 2 was also Plan Your Epitaph Day. So as we were driving around Antelope Island, we had some fun.
Here lies Jr. Jr. He fell off a cliff.
His brother said, "It's not my fault you're so shoveable."
Mom: Plan Your Epitaph Day.
Lucky: I'm not buckled.
Dad: Wow. That was fast.
Dad: I think I would get a squid coming down my arm with the tentacles wrapped around...
Mom: It's Plan Your Epitaph Day, not Tattoo Day.
Dad: Plan your epic tat.
Jr. Jr.: Here lies Jr. Jr. His last words were, "What? That's not a bear."
