Statement 1
(1) The Smiths made their June trip to the amusement park on one of the past seven days.
While we know that Smiths made a trip to the amusement park on one of the past seven days, we don't have any information to conclude that one of the past three days was a Saturday.
Hence, without that information we cannot conclusively answer the question "Did the Smiths and their children make a trip to the amusement park on one of the past three days? ". Hence, we can eliminate A and D.
Statement 2
(2) The 23rd of last month was a Sunday.
If the 23rd of June was a Sunday, the next Sunday is the 30th of June. However, we don't know whether the Smiths took their children to the amusement park on any of the previous Saturdays or did they take their children to the amusement park on the 29th of June.
Hence, we can eliminate B.
Combined
From the question premise, we know that the Smiths take their children to the amusement park on Saturdays. From Statement 2 we know that the 29th of June was a Saturday. From Statement 1, we know that the Smiths made their June trip to the amusement park on one of the past seven days. Hence they must have made that trip on the 29th of June.
Did the Smiths and their children make a trip to the amusement park on one of the past three days? ⇒ Yes !
The statements combined are sufficient to answer the question.

I don't understand this approach. The prompt very clearly says "past three days" so the way I understand it is we are looking at 3 days before the 1st of July which would be the 30th of June, 29th of June, and 28th of June.
Statement (2) essentially says that 23rd of the last month was a Saturday. So 23rd of June was a Saturday. So the next saturday you can have is on the 30th. So this would be one of the past 3 days in question.
Statement (1) says one of the past 7 days, so that would be 30th of June, 29th of June, 28th of June, 27th of June, 26th of June, 25th of June, 24th of June.
But looking at (1) alone does not give us what day the 1st of July is so the answer cannot be determined.
Therefore, option B of the answer choices should be correct.
Please help me understand if I am wrong in my approach.
