Tulip Festival 2011

We went to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival with Papper and Cyndi and her kids. It was a beautiful warm day and the best tulips we've seen any year of the festival (one year we went and there were hardly any open).

The girls were more concerned with running around and having fun with their cousins than getting their pictures taken with pretty flowers. Luckily I have a willing (and captive) model so that is why the pictures this year are bear-heavy. Besides- look at that face! He's adorable!



EJ got a flower from a boy in her class (sigh). All Birdy wanted in the world was a boy to give her a flower. Cyndi's son T came through and gave her one that had fallen on the ground (really). She was THRILLED. Also, as you can see, Birdy felt the Sleeping Beauty dress was essential to the trip to the garden.






The koi fish were actually hungry this time. Most of the time when we go to the gardens they are stuffed full and not interested in eating at all!





Birdy and T spent most of the time walking around the gardens hand-in-hand.

This was our fourth year and by far the prettiest!

Tulip Festival 2010


Saturday was a beautiful, warm, springy day at the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival. This was probably the best and prettiest of the three years we've gone.

They had musicians playing at the stage near the big waterfall. All the kids were on the stage, dancing to the music. Of course our girls had to join in!


Dancing in the warm spring sun is thirsty work!

Mommy got to chill and eat hot french fries while the girls danced. I had DMP take a picture to prove I was there, too (and to show that I'm still pregnant)


Then it was off to the Children's Garden to jam out and create some serious sculptures.

Isn't he so handsome?!?

Can you spot the owl? He was sleeping on the rocks by the waterfall.

The girls capped off the day by rolling down the big hill. They thought that was lots of fun until they had to hike back up!

Tulip Festival 2009

We went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point with Cynj and the boys yesterday. It was so much fun and beautiful. The weather was perfect for picture taking (overcast and warmish), so of course the girls wouldn't cooperate!  But here is our story in pictures.


Enjoy!
