Hi Everyone!
How are you? Good I do hope! I shall make this post short as we have just returned from a long day of adventuring! This morning we went to the local farmers market and had a bit of a look around and then headed off to a park called "This is the place" it basically recreates life as it was for the founders of the church when they moved out here. It was a lot of fun, we saw a teepee and rode on a kids train...and learnt about the Pony Express which was a mail route used in the 1800's.

Then we headed out to this place Meish found where they have tropical fish and three sharkes in ponds and you can go snorkling and scuba diving! It is really one of the strangest things I have ever seen! The landscape around it is almost totally barren with the giant lake and then these soaring mountains sticking up out of nowhere -- and then a few ponds with tropical fish! Amazing!
While we were adventuring we also saw a salt factory and many salt beds where they evaporate the water off and leave a few inches of salt to harvest. It was actually a really cool site, never ending salt! At one point I hopped out of the car and surried down a bank to get some -- Mum said it tasted salty, I don't think anyone else tried it!

So thats it from us today -- we are heading to Yellowstone National Park tomorrow and I don't think we get internet there...so I shall update when we have internet again!
