Tulips!

For the past three years, I’ve told Scott how I want to go to the Tulip Festival. But every year, something comes up right when the tulips are in bloom: school, work, someone wearing grumpy pants, a newborn baby, etc. This year, I told Scott that no matter what, I was getting pictures of our family in the tulips!

Scott, Lily, and Zeke indulged me. And my mom, bless her heart, came along to take pictures of us.

As we drove up, it was pouring rain. Scott gave me that look. The look that says, you’re being ridiculous. But we kept going.Tulips 2011 051

When we arrived. it was overcast, but not raining. I won’t bore you with all the pictures. Here are some of my favorites:

Oh my gosh I love this! It's beautiful! It reminds me of Daffodil Hill in California! I will DEFINITELY have to check this place out if we get Fort Lewis!

I'm glad you got to go! Thanks for keeping it real too, with the "someone was wearing grumpy pants." It gave me a good laugh, maybe because I can relate all too well.

Happy Birthday to Lily too!

Those pictures are wonderful. And Scott is such a great husband for taking you there. I had tried to convince Dennis to see the famous tulip fields in the Netherlands for years but he thought this was way to girly or elderly! I should have Scott talk to him some time :-)
