Well, maybe we should just be honest and call this: "trample the tulips". It would be much more realistic. On Friday, handy husband decided to cash in a vacation day for a splendid day filled with sunshine, the family, and the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. We had such a lovely time and I can't help but think it was solely because of the sunshine. I don't think any shenanigan of the kids could have spoiled our mood. After a stop at two beautiful fields, we headed into LaConner for some lunch at the brewery. The three kids (remember, all three and under) always make us a bit worried, especially when we see the only table available is right in the middle. Imagine the laughter of those seated around us (the place was packed) when handy husband and I were the only two at the table that managed to dump glasses of water. Our waitress told us that next time we should just send our well behaved children and leave ourselves at home. Let's just say that after the mishaps, I left two-thirds of my beer on the table so as not to worry the other patrons of our childrens' safety.
"William, which ones do you want to run over first?"
Deep in thought with his dandelion.
Taking a little break.
Racing down the rows. The tulip grower's love this sort of behavior. Really.
A quick snack in the back of the car.
Now, there's a tulip!
A rare moment of smiles and hugs.
Next year, we'll have the three of them running around the fields. That should be fun. Heck, if we just have one more kid, we could probably qualify for the "up-close" bus parking!
