Memorial Day

Dinosaur Park + Rainbow Gardens + The Parkway = LOTS OF FUN

For Memorial Day we decided to have a day of fun with just our little family. Devin surprised Braxon and I with a fun time starting at my favorite place to eat...Cafe Rio for lunch and then up Ogden Canyon going for a 4 miles walk on the parkway, checking out the Dinosaurs at Dinosaur Park and going through the fun gift shops at Rainbow Gardens. If you have never been there, I definitely would recommend it. I seriously felt like I was on a vacation outside of Utah and I was only like 20 min from my house.


Heading out for the adventure....





A few of the dinosaurs we saw as we walked the parkway...we didn't actually go right in the park...we thought we would go inside when Braxon is a little older and can enjoy it more.


He loved all the flowers, as I came toward him with the dandelion he opened his mouth thinking it was a lollipop or something he could eat...he soon realized it wasn't a treat!


Stopping along the way to keep hydrated was a must!


(For all you photo guru's, it was a great spot for some fun pictures)


After the long walk and taking in all the scenes, he was pretty tuckered out!

He did wake back up to shop at the gift shops and get a treat.....
....or was that Dad who wanted the treat, either way he wasn't about to let go of the candy!
We had such a great time...it was a much needed time out as a family...hope everyone else had a great Memorial Day!
