A Really Good Bedtime Story

This is a story that Abe has told the girls as a bedtime story for several years about a magical daddy-daughter adventure.  Then Bethany suggested that they actually DO the adventure.  Last night was the night.  Here is the story, in Abe's words, with my details in parenthesis. 
Once upon a time there was a father with three beautiful daughters, each with blue eyes.  The oldest with long blondish hair.  The youngest with medium brown hair.  And the middle was a beautiful brunette.
This father decided they needed to go on a special trip, just the four of them.  And so the day came where they drove in the car up into the mountains (Heber City, Utah).  Along the way they stopped to get treats.
 After a long drive they arrived at the hotel in the mountains that had an indoor swimming pool.
They immediately got in their swimsuits and had a fun time swimming.
After swimming they went to go have a pizza dinner in the town.
 After dinner they returned to the hotel for more swimming.
 Then they finally got in their pajamas and watched a movie together (Rio) while eating popcorn.  
It was very late when they finally went to sleep.  The next morning they awoke and went to get breakfast.
 After breakfast they checked out of the hotel and drove down the mountain a little ways until they got to a waterfall (Bridal Veil Falls).  They hiked on a trail up to the base of the beautiful waterfall.  (It was chilly so the girls put on all the clothing and pajamas they brought with them to keep warm.)
 It was a beautiful day.  After the hike they returned to their home, never to forget the super-fun, special daddy-daughter date.
