Easter Eggstreme 2011

We took Karlee to Thanksgiving Point this year for their "Easter 'Eggs'treme", it was a bit colder than we had liked, but nothing too bad, that we didn't have fun. There were so many things for Karlee to do. We started off with the Easter Egg Grab (ages 0-3). This was crazy as expected, but Karlee had a good time and loved chasing all the other kids to get their eggs.

Karlee went on the "Cow Train". She wasn't sure at first, as she had her fingers in her ears in preparation for the sound of the tractor (wasn't loud at all.haha.) About 1/2 way through the ride, Karlee was all smiles. She Loved this ride.

It was then time to wander over to the Farm Country, Karlee was able to feed dried corn kernels to the pigs, chickens, and ducks. She even got to go on a pony ride. She was a bit hesitant on this, and it did take some coaxing to get her to sit on the pony. Rob walked along side of her, but by the last round Karlee was hands free and loving being on a pony. After the ride, we took a short horse pulled wagon ride and then spent a couple minutes playing in the "Utah Territorial Jail". Super Fun!

We had to stop and "Smell the Tulips" so it was worth another photo. These flowers were beautiful. Tulips are my favorite!

When we walked into the park, Karlee saw the bounce houses, and got so excited. I think this was her first experience in a bounce house. She is 3yrs old, is that sad that this was probably her first time.haha. She had a blast, and did better than we expected. There was a moment that got a little crazy, when a bunch of older kids started to charge through, and Karlee got stuck on the bottom. I think I got a little more panicked than she did - she handled it like a champ.


Our last ride before leaving was a barrel wagon ride. This ride was a lot of fun. We went all over the Electric park lawn. We rode around all the activities, and Karlee was "Yes" in heaven. Thought this picture was really cute of Karlee and her dad!

On our way home we stopped and did a few errands, which involved Costco. While I was looking at something, Rob and Karlee found me with this ginormous brown cuddly bear in the cart. It was Love and first sight for Karlee, who would wrap his arms around her, and just sink down into his cuddly body. We had people stopping us telling us that we were not going to be leaving Costco without purchasing this bear. Well we did leave Costco without the bear, and Karlee did better than we thought or anticipated. Really what would we do with such a big bear in our little home - that's what I had to keep telling Rob. I was glad that I had my camera, so that I could capture this picture.
