We all got to sleep in (YEA!!) and Zach even slept in till 8 and joe got him up and let me sleep in till 9! (isnt he great!) then we watched a little of the Days of '47 Parade on TV, zach loved to see the floats, and then we got ready and headed out!
I have never been to Thanksgiving Point myself, so I wasnt quite sure what to expect, but it was SO cute!! We first started off with these cute little baby goats, which Zach LOVED, he went right up to the fence, and tried to stick his fingers in and pet them, but ill be honest i was afraid they would bite his fingers, so i kept trying to keep his hands away. But he eventually snuck his hand out and pet one of them on the nose, and was so proud of himself! Then we went next to some bigger goats, and sheep which he was just fascinated with. As we were heading over to the other sheep pen we passed a rooster and it cock-a-doodle-do'd and scared the crap out of Zach, so he was a little fussy after that. We went over and looked at this big beautiful Clydesdale horse, which he loved but all of the horses were either eating of sleeping so we didnt get to see any up close (until later!) so next there was a little pond with ducks and geese, but he wasnt too interested with those or the pig pen, so we decided to head over and try the pony ride. he was very interested as we walked up to it, and then was pointing to all of them as they walked by as we waited in line. When I went up to put him on the horse he was a little nervous, and hesitant to let go of my shirt (which he didnt let go of for the first 3 rounds) then he got the hang of it and let go of me and actually held onto the saddle :) he was smiling and then he would let go and then hold on again. Then he was starting to get a little sleepy, so we took off to go home for a nap.
After he woke up we played a little and then went out for dinner, which was so fun, he LOVED it and it was nice to go out the 3 of us, that doesnt happen too much. Then we picked up some cupcakes from the store and head up to the hospital to visit Erin, our favorite night time nurse Zach had in the NICU, and say hi, and drop off some birthday cupcakes and a thank you (being as we are so fortunate enough to have Zach here with us today because of them and everything they did for Zach. We cant have a holiday without thinking of them) We are hoping to get back over there Tuesday afternoon and visit Margaret (oh my we love her!!) so we will have more to post then!
