Tulip Festival

Yesterday was beautiful.
Days that we long for in the Pacific Northwest.

Here's a secret...

I'm kind of a pansy when it comes to going outside when it's cold.
I don't like being cold.... or wet (which happens a lot here).

So yesterday it got up into the upper 60's and we just had to take advantage of it.
(stock up on our vitamin D)

In the afternoon (it took ALL morning to prepare to leave the house) we headed down to the Tulip Festival in Mt. Vernon.



We headed over to Roosensomething gardens. It was beautiful.

We got our first family picture:



and one of my lovely parents:



a bunch of Maria... she was so cute with all the flowers. She "smelled" them.





I love the look on her face in this one:





I'm not sure which was her favorite.... the flowers or the alpacas.



Here's one of daddy with the baby...



and a rare picture of me!



We set Cooper down in a patch of tulips...



We bought some delicious fudge... Maria enjoyed it so much that we ended up having to hide it from her and then play the distraction game... as it was she ended up running around laughing like a crazy lady.



It was a super fun day. I'm excited for this summer when the sun will be out more and we can get more vitamin D.
