Uncle Scott and Aunt Pam came to SLC last weekend for a quick visit. They now live in Colorado, so its only a 6 hour drive. Scott brought with him ingredients for a special Parker family dessert. Can you tell Scott is happy about it? And the dessert lived up to its expectations...sweet, light, and fluffy. We did lots of good cooking while they were here.
On Saturday, we ventured out to Antelope Island (out in the Great Salt Lake). Little did we know that it was the annual bison roundup weekend (
http://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/antelope-island/roundup). Hundreds of buffalo are rounded up by cowboys to be vaccinated. The entire process was amazing to watch. There is this strange torture looking mechanism that holds the buffalo in place. Then they hook their tender nose so they stay still. Shots are given, and ear tags inserted. It is surprising how close they allow spectators.

Grant was working most of the weekend, but he did join us for some breakfast at Ruth's Diner. The trip was fast, but worth every minute. Thanks for coming out Scott and Pam!
