Tulips

Our friends invited us to come along with them to the Tulip Festival in Woodburn last weekend. I had actually been looking at someone else's pictures of their visit to the festival a few days prior and was in complete awe...it looked truly breathtaking. I wasn't disappointed. It turned out to be a slightly longer drive out there than I had anticipated and Ryan even made the comment that he didn't realize we were going to California to see the tulips, but it was a pleasant drive (with both weans asleep) and lovely scenery.
Of course I attempted to get the boys together for a nice photo in amongst the flowers, but it went as expected...no one co-operated.

I loved this brilliant old steam tractor...I thought Jack would too, but for some reason he was a little unsure of it and threw a massive fit as we walked towards it.

Pete and I sat for a few minutes in with the tulips and got a couple of cute wee shots together, before grabby Pete thought it would be more fun to behead the poor things.

Jack told me over and over and over that he wanted to go in "that house"(the windmill)...of course it was purely decorative and so he was pretty disappointed when he finally got over to it. He did make an attempt to launch himself over the railing around it, but I'm no fun.
We have been enjoying some beautiful sunshine here in Oregon and I hope it continues a wee while longer.

In other news, Ryan's parents are waiting to hear back from a job interview that might take them to Florida. It would be sad not to have at least one set of grandparents close by for the kids to grow up around, but if that is where Chris gets a job then we'll be happy for them. And really I don't think I'll be that upset about having to take a trip to Florida to visit them...Disney world here we come(...maybe).
