The tulip festival

This winter has been a hard one for me. Months of sub-zero temperatures, fog, cooped up kids and two straight months of all day morning sickness had me in a slump. Luckily the nausea lifted, the skies have returned to blue and my most favorite flower in the world is starting to show itself...tulips. Last week Camden was out of school so I packed up the kids and headed down south to the tulip festival. It is breathtaking and such a great way to just make me smile! The kids had a fun day running around, enjoying the sun, getting along (that in and of itself is amazing) and I had fun looking at the flowers and drove my kids crazy with all of the pictures I took. Funny thing, we parked the car, packed the stroller and walked to the entrance and paid and started our journey through the gardens when I realized the camera had no battery. It was back in the car in the camera bag (I had left it in the car cause it is just too bulky). I was determined to take pictures so we trekked back to the car and got the battery and 300+ pictures later, these are just a few of my favorites. I try to limit them, but since this will be turned into a book as my journal.....these really are for me. But if you care to look.....I think they turned out pretty cute. But with all of those flowers and my three little tulips, really they can't turn out too bad! Enjoy!

He is my dramatic one. Apparently he was tired!

Rolling, it made me sick just watching!

The end! It was a beautiful day basking in the sun (as Camden put it!).
