Hudson Gardens

After our car shopping ordeal, Jessi had an early dinner of lasagna soup waiting for us!!  Then we gathered up our coats, hats, mittens and scarves and headed to Hudson Gardens!

We had been here once before - it's a large park that is decorated in Christmas lights and oh so pretty!!  This year the tickets were a few dollars less than we had paid 2 or 3 years ago and we wondered why?

Parking wasn't too far away and we headed in - it was COLD!  Gwyn looks like she's in a daze in this picture!


We walked through the beautiful lights and enjoyed them all!




A nice photo op place where the gal behind us offered to take our picture!



The hot cocoa that Jessi had brought sure tasted good!


And then we got to the end of the first section and it said exit - WHAT?  Where was the big lake section where it's all done in white lights?  We looked at the map and sure enough, they had NOT decorated the other section, hence the reduced prices in admission!  Disappointing as that part was sure pretty!

Oh well..............as we got towards the exit, the fast music was playing in time to the trees so the kids started dancing - it was fine until Gwyn took a fall face first - OUCH!!  Blood on her snowsuit and of course it was dark but think she just hit her lip pretty hard and at least no teeth were loose!  Poor thing!

Still it was a great time and we were glad we went!  On the way home, it started to snow so we were glad we went early as the roads were getting slick by the time we got home!

And this next picture is NOT of the Keppys but of Aleah and Parker with Santa - Jill had texted it to us and it's such a great picture that I just had to post it!  Aleah and Parker used to be not great picture takers but they have come a LONG ways the last couple of years and now take perfect pictures!!

Looks beautiful. I took Emily, Lainie and baby Hazel to our big light display but you drive through it. It was cute but not as beautiful as yours!
