I gotta hand it to my hubby! I recently had a baby, and he being the sweetheart he is, planned our date for us!! A LITTLE DISCLAIMER-I did ask ladies!! Sometimes... well most the time... my man would prefer I was blunt with him. Sadly enough *sniff sniff* he can't read my mind and he usually doesn't know exactly what I want. {WINK WINK} Lucky me though, he was completely game! When we were dating he always was the creative one planning fun dates... Now with his busy schedule it doesn't happen so much anymore. BUT he is STILL so incredible!
His invite (You should have seen his face when I told him he needed to "invite" me! It was priceless!) is super easy, you could personalize your own or use his! Typed up on the computer...
For my very special Wendy lady...
Let's go out on the town.
Open up Saturday in the afternoon...
And plan to have some fun!
The kids will be going to grandmas house...
So bring your suit and I'll take care of the rest!
First things first then! We needed some of these...
We ended up going for a beautiful drive...
Little did I know... we would be in that FRIGID water shortly! ;) The hubby wanted to go tubing down the river! I have always really l-o-v-e-d crazy adventures! But to be honest, things changed after the kiddos came along! I would rather be "unadventurous" aka "safe" if you will. So I was nervous...
Life jackets and tubes... a MUST! (lol I know I am a chicken!)
...and then we got to FLOAT down the river. I don't have pictures of this because the camera is NOT waterproof and I like my camera! :) What made this ride so awesome... is the fact that my hubby was not attached to his phone! His job requires that most the time, so it was a miracle that I had him ALL to myself! NO DISTRACTIONS!! It was so fun... we were in the middle of water stuck with each other! Reminded us of this fun song by Huey Lewis and The News... "Yes it's true... I am happy to be stuck with you!" Great song to sing-a-long to and chit chat about!
We had a chance, the first in a while, to just talk and laugh with each other for almost 2 hours! As we neared the end of our journey, my hubby told me we were going to go to a drive through close by to get a root beer "float." Creative YES! But then I saw this sign hanging by our parked car...

And this fancy and adorable little root beer shop!
Neither of us had any idea it was there... but for those who aren't in Provo Canyon in Utah, you could totally make homemade root beer floats! Cheaper too I might add... ;)
The perfect frosty treat to end our ice cold date!
An ENORMOUS thank you to my incredible husband for such an amazing time!!
I am not the only diva married to an extremely sweet and creative man....click HERE to see what Erika's husband, Justin, came up with when he planned a fun date for her!
We live have lived in Provo for over 6 years and still have no idea where to go tubing! Where did you guys go to? Where was the CUTE root beer float stand?! Thanks for your help!
ReplyDelete@Matt and Steph- You need to go! Hopefully it's not too chilly yet! This week is supposed to be warm. :) We go up just past Sundance, on the right there is a pull off parking area (keep in mind you can go higher if you want) and then we got out at Vivian Park, and that is where the root beer stand is!! Hope you go and have as much fun as we did!!
ReplyDeleteGreat date Wendy! I used to love to float down the canal as a kid. I wouldn't have even thought to do it again!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really fun date. I LOVE rootbeer floats, but don't get as much as I can in England!
ReplyDeleteI have lived here all my life and go up the canyon all the time and have never seen that cute root beer float stand. We are going up there tonight so I will have to look for it. Did you really just have a baby? cause you look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE tubing the Provo river. Too bad we live so far now! However, Justin's FAVORITE treat is rootbeer floats. I'm totally going to have to do this. Such a cute idea.
ReplyDelete@Scrap Mel X- No rootbeer in England?? That is a shame! I know a lot of countries think it tastes like their cough syrup! ;)
ReplyDelete@Brandi, Dan, L and B- I did just have a baby, 6 weeks ago... my secret?!?! SpAnX!! ;)
@Erika- Maybe it needs to be a DIVA date when you are in town next summer!? ;) Teams and water fights would be fun!
Hey I love your blog and wanted to let each of you know I gave your blog an award!
