TULIP TIME!

Today, was the day that we ended up at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. It rained yesterday afternoon and last night, but when we woke up this morning, and it wasn't raining so we decided to go. We haven't had too much sunshine here, so we knew that the fields were not going to be in the "wow" stages. We also knew that the tulip fields were going to be wet and muddy, but I was prepared. I brought some plastic bags to put on Maya's shoes, to keep them dry and clean. She wasn't a big fan of us putting them on her, but it was better than not doing it at all!

The three of us in the middle of the tulip fields.

Here are those bags I was talking about....check them out! Maya wasn't interested in the tulips, she just loved pulling the stakes out of the dirt with the name of the tulips on them.

Maya....our flower child (who really didn't like posing for this picture!)

Maya and I in the middle of the yellow tulips. (Maya was more interested in watching the tractors drive by, then to have her picture taken by daddy.)

Now, Maya is having fun!! Trying this shoe on was a little different then trying on mommy and daddy's shoes on at home!

Daddy and Maya in the red tulips. The colors were absolutely beautiful!

Maya in the big yellow wooden shoe. Maya called it her row boat!

Maya on the horse tire swing. These swings were awesome. Stewart was about ready to ask where he could get one!

After walking around and playing for almost two hours, it was time to head home to get Maya down for a nap. But before we could get on the freeway, I had to make a short stop at the outlet mall. While I did a little shopping (Oshkosh and Carters), Stewart entertained Maya outside. We were only two minutes away from home when Maya decided to close her eyes and fall asleep in the car. No worries....I was able to carry her in and she slept like a log for over two hours!

If you haven't been, it is a great place to go. There is so much for kids to see and do there. We had sunshine this afternoon and we are supposed to have more sun tomorrow. Hopefully in the next day or two the fields will be the "wow" stages and your pictures will come out better than ours.
