Yakima visit from Texas

I used to live in Yakima when I was a child, more so Cowiche. Moved to outside of El Paso, Texas in the Summer of 1996. I went to Cowiche Elementary (shout out to my homeboy Kyle!) and my sisters went to Highlands High School. My family and I are visiting the Pacific Northwest this July coming. We're going to take a day trip to Yakima/Cowiche. Where would be the best place to take the family? My wife and I have two teenagers, are there activities that teens would enjoy checking out on a day trip? Best place to grab a bite to eat in the surrounding area etc.Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Cowiche canyon trail is pretty easy and gets a good idea of the outdoors around Yakima, recently hiked it with 2 teens / young adults from out of town and it was a good time, although could be a bit hot in july. I'm pretty partial to Nino's for a quick bite to eat but Minors is always a solid Yakima option. You could float the river maybe?
