Four: A three day affair-Day 3

Saturday night, Brad and I were at the store wondering what to get for Amalie. We had purposely waited until after her Friend Birthday party to get her present, because we didn't want any duplicates. But what was there to get her? We left the store empty handed. Finally, we came up with the idea to do a fun activity, or rather make a memory for her b-day. Amalie was thrilled with the idea! She chose to start off the day going to Chuck E Cheese. (Thankfully we had some great coupons for free tokens) The kids used up their ten tokens each, pretty quickly and redeemed their tickets for some fabulous prizes.

Then we picked up a pizza and drove up to the Canyon for a picnic. We had told Amalie about Bridal Veil Falls and how would she like it if we had a picnic by a waterfall? She loved the idea, but unfortunately so many other people had the same idea on Labor Day, there was no parking! So, we headed over to a nearby park, which was pretty gorgeous as well. From the time it took to drive to the other park (about two and a half minutes) Amalie was fast asleep with her mini pizza on her lap. We decided to let her and Gabe sleep awhile and picnicked right in front of our new-to-us minivan.

We finally woke her and she ate and then we explored the park. It was a stunningly beautiful day, with a glorious cool breeze. So perfect.

It was so fun to just explore and enjoy with the kids! We finished off with ice cream and then went home. I'm so glad we could make a memory!

Beautiful boys!

What a view!

The Provo River went right through the park.

Have you ever seen such a blue sky?
