Tip Toe through the Tulips

Actually it was more like running through them-this has got to be the kids favorite thing to do-find a wide open space and just take off!

We went to the Tulip Festival today and it was perfect as usual! The weather was great-not raining and not hot and a huge perk not crazy busy! Chad didn't get to go last year because he was working or something-so the kids were excited to show him around.

I let Chad take the camera for a change and I think he got some pretty dang good pictures! Look at those tulips-aren't they perfect?The kids had a blast playing on this tractor, Topher did not want to get off-he could have stayed there all day.It was muddy from earlier rain-and of course the kids had to run through the muddiest parts-and Topher fell into a good bit of it! He was pretty concerned about his "ditty" hands for about half a second, and then started running again.Here I am in all my prego glory...you're welcome...Then we had to take the traditional cheesey touristy pictures that you can't help but love...

The kids in the BIG wooden shoes...The Horse Tire Swings....The one in front of the Windmill...And then of course-The "look what flowers I picked at the tulip festival 2008" shot.We had a great afternoon playing in the tulips and doing all the other little fun things they had to do there, and even Chad who wasn't 100% sold on the idea of going really enjoyed it.

It's one of those things that you need to do when you live here, and one of those things you'll miss once you move away. It's going on until the end of this weekend-so if you live here and haven't been yet-you need to.
