Sometimes You Just Have to Get Wet

I thought it would be fun to go on a bike ride with the kids. I thought you know we haven't ridden to the Riverwoods lets do that today.  Kira and Josh were super excited about the idea. Kira had the fun idea of inviting her friend Eliza.  Eliza's mom was watching Kira's other friend Ellie, so Kira was lucky enough to have two friends come with us. We had a ton of fun riding our bikes despite having to go further down University Ave than planned because they repaved part of the intersection of where we cross to get to the Riverwoods. Its OK because with our tiny detour we saw a fun pond with lily pads that we wouldn't have seen if we went our normal way.

The first stop was to get some ice cream. I didn't get any but Kira let me have a few licks of her cone.  (Sharon can you believe I didn't get an ice cream cone?!)  The kids of course then wanted to go to Blickenstaffs. They played for HOURS!  They played on the horse, on the little riders, they played house, it was fun to watch. We then walked over to the Zion's Merchantile. The girls loved looking at the bonnets.

We were then going to go home but we tried to find a water fountain that took us to Provo Beach Resort, then after that we walked right by the splash pad so the kids kicked off their shoes and went right in even though we didn't bring swim suits. Kira and Eliza went all in, Ellie and Josh were a little more conservative.  Kira then suggested we go to Bath and Body Works so we did, we all had fun trying on different lotions (Joshy in the mens section) I found a new smell I love. Its a new one, its berry sugar something and its on sale for $5! All their new summer lotions that they just got in are $5. I'll have to go back.  The girls tried on a ton of different lip gloss. Finally we decided after around four hours we best be heading home.

It was such a spontaneous day but so much fun! Gotta live it up in Provo while we have the chance!
