Tulips, Tulips, TULIPS!

Daphne and I along with our kiddos went on a a little adventure to a tulip farm nearby. They have an annual tulip festival for about a month when the tulips are in season. It was so colorful. Just bright, bold rows of color. Its hard to explain even by pictures. I just thought it was the most amazing thing, as far as colors and flowers go!!! And so did Naomi! She was the cutest shouting to her mama everytime she saw a flower "LOOK AT THESE....and LOOK AT THIS ONE!!!! Such great excitement for one of natures beauty! So basically this is a blog about tulips and children among them. So instead of tiptoeing, running or stomping through the tulips, Maia crawled and ate whatever she could get her hands on. Good thing tulips are not a poisonous plant!

Ok for all you purple fans these are for you! I think these were my favorites as far as color was concerned. They were just so rich in their color it was breathtaking!
And our sweetie posing among them!!!


Now these were my favorite as far as size and shape were concerned. I wish I could remember what the names of these were, but they were just huge! I tried to get a photo of Maia's head next to them, but unfortunately she was to squirmy to do so. This is as good as I got at least she was looking up and not eating anything!!! It was fun letting her get good and dirty!


Among those huge tulips are three cute kiddos!


If you look closely at Ebens face you will see that it was all dirty around it. It just cracked me up at those little ones going to town on the dirt!


HEE HEE HEE!!!! They sure don't look too impressed!


And of course one of the two of us!!! We sure do have fun together!


And a beautiful mom with her kids!!!!

Stuck in a shoe and didn't know what to do!



This concludes the tulip festival! Spring is here and summer is on its way luring us in for more adventures! Don't forget to stop and smell the roses! or the tulips in our case!

I love the shot of all three kiddos amongst the tulips. And I always love the photos of you and Maia, Jeanette. You do make one cute pair! Maia looks older to me in this set of pictures. Has she gotten taller lately and lost more of her cute baby fat now that she's crawling more? That's what it seems like. Awwww. She's growing up!

yes Katie she is getting longer I think. I just noticed that the other day when she was lying on her back. She is growing so fast!
