It was one of those days I felt happy from start to finish. Every activity was a delight. The only thing that would have made it better is if Abe could have been able to come too. I just needed to record that in case I look back and think I&#8217;ve wasted these little-kid years complaining and feeling ungrateful. Honestly, I felt active gratitude in my heart practically every minute of this glorious day. It was so fun.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so we drove to Ogden because I have not explored it much at all since moving here to Utah, and I have been wanting to for some time. I debated between Ogden, southern Utah, or Salt Lake stuff, and I am so glad Ogden won! It was beautiful with the fall colors. (Apparently, it is on the top ten places to visit for fall colors in the U.S. After Monday, I believe it!)<\/p>\n<p>Oh! Before we left for Ogden, the girls each practiced their instruments without complaining and were soooo good. That was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Then we drove to the dinosaur park in Ogden. It was incredible. The kids spent hours exploring and playing. I loved it because of both how much the kids loved it AND how beautiful a day and place it was. It was a gorgeous day and we were right at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. So pretty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16788\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG-8665-300x225.jpg\"
