Thanksgiving Point Easter Egg Hunt

Easter weekend we took Hudson to Thanksgiving Point for his first real Easter egg hunt!  We met up with a few friends and their kids, but left Ryker at home with Grandma because it was freezing!  Thanksgiving Point is a really neat place here in Utah.  They have a movie theater, dinosaur museum, golf course, beautiful gardens which are great places for weddings, I actually had my bridal pictures taken there in the gardens.  They always have something fun going on for the kids, and every holiday they seem to have an activity, this did not disappoint.  In addition to the egg hunt, they had an animal farm, bouncy house, the Easter bunny, train rides, and many other activities.  It was a good day, and I think Hudson had a blast, even though is little fingers were almost frostbit, I am such a terrible mother, I forgot his gloves!                          

Here is Andy explainig to Hudson how to find the eggs before the hunt!

Look mom, all by myself!

 

This was the funniest thing!  This cow must have been used to being fed by the visitors, because as we walked by she stuck her head out of the fencing and started sniffing and licking everything!  Hudson thought this was hilarious, and was laughing uncontrollably.  The cow even licked his shoe!  

The best part is a few days later we were driving in the car, and Hudson kept saying "Dad, dad, dad, dad," fifty times over, and we mostly ignore this because he does it all of the time, and never wants anything, but to annoy us.  So Andy, finally says, "What Hudson", and he get's this big grin on his face and says "Remember the cow, licked my shoe!"  We were dying...first because Hudson was laughing, so we were all laughing in the car, and second we found it so funny that was a memory he had and he thought it was funny.  It made me happy that we take him places to do things, because sometimes you wonder if he even would care.  But to know he remembers them, and enjoys them was wonderful!
