Tulip festival

Last weekend, we drove a few miles up the road to Woodland, WA, to visit the Holland America Bulb Farm for their annual tulip festival. Only a few of the tulip varieties were in bloom at the time, due to the wretchedly wet and cold weather we've been having (one day of partial sun, then five days of rain, then one day of partial sun, then six days of rain, if I had a shotgun I'd shoot at the sky for all the good it'd do me). Still, we had a good time and there were some pretty flowers to look at.

These were interesting. Flowering right next to the ground!

Tulip Samuel

Was the trip worth the horrendous cold we picked up while there? I'm not sure, but that last picture is just about priceless.

  1. So adorable! And I can't believe Samuel is so big!

    Looks like a fun trip. We need to surround ourselves with cut flowers indoors here in South Bend, since spring has been so sluggish in arriving. A visit to a tulip farm would be pretty much perfect!

  2. ...unless it gives you pneumonia! Eve was diagnosed with that this morning. Please God don't let anyone else in the family get it...
