For 11 years I have wanted to see the amazing Tulip Festival. This was finally the year I would do it. My friend, Jen, and I decided to take the kids and enjoy this magnificent site. We drove 1.5 hours to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and well, it was magnificent alright. Every aspect of it, including the mud!!
It started out okay. The kids were very intrigued by the whole event. Here's Emi admiring a beautiful flower.
Gavin and Carter had fun trying on giant wooden shoes.
They had a great time posing in the wooden tulips. And then.....
.....it turned into this! We spent the rest of the time watching the kids play in the mud. A mud puddle with a view what could be any better? Maybe next week we can drive another 1.5 hours to find a better bunch of mud. All in all it was a good day. Carter had a lot of fun and a lot of tears after the initial fun. The clouds came in and it got cold. Luckily, I brought a change of clothes and learned how to effectively clean a completely covered child with no running water:) Something I always wanted to know how to do!! Thanks Jen for the pic!
