There’s a Tulip Festival?

IMG_1692

Lets go to the tulip festival right after Marie’s soccer game. So far soccer is not #1 on our list. Having played soccer growing up I get it. I enjoy playing time to time with my friends, but I can’t say I’m addicted…

but it does make for a few cute photos.

Here is Mina- our sideline cheerleader…. hmmm maybe Aunt Cassie can give her lessons.

Ok, game over Mina! Lets get out of Town! Random festival- here we come!

Now I know you will be carefully examining each and every picture so I enlarged them and cropped them appropriately. Here’s to hoping your internet isn’t slow because here we go….

If you look closely in the back is a sort-of replica of the Golden Gate Bridge that connects us to the home of the tulips.

Yes, Gracie. We are serious. We are taking a bunch of pictures and loading every single good shot onto this blog post right here. Yah, I know.

Where are we?! Holland?

This mix of tulips was the favorite- who doesn’t love a moge-podge of color! And no, it’s not cold, the girls are doing their best “tulip pose.” Marie says, “I’m a skin colored tulip!”

Brett often claims that Grace is a fussy baby. Don’t. Even. Try. Look at this girl. She’s as chill as they come!

We all know who is the spice of the family- This little lass right here.

We got a DSLR camera for Christmas- a very popular camera. And very fun. I never thought taking pictures of tulips could be so addicting!IMG_1746

Me and my little flower girls.

We tried using the timer on the tri-pod here. Brett had to run around a small field to get to the other side of this pictures. It was sort of worth it…... ish.

I feel like I’m behind the camera all the time. I do exist. I am not trying to hide. Here’s proof.

Here’s Mina making conversation with some dude. Lets just say she is really independent.

Another thing you might need to know. The above face is what Mina looks like when she is about to pee. All over. Seriously, if you see her look like this get her to the bathroom. Please.

This time we were dry. But watch out because big sister is THAT funny.

And my Gracie baby! What a happy little goose!

“Hey guys! I’m cute!” Yes. I want to eat you up!- says mom and everyone in the known universe.

We look one last look…

And headed home.

Now my inner need for Europe has been slightly satiated. Thank you tulips!
