April Flowers

Yesterday, we headed up to Mount Vernon to enjoy the annual Tulip Festival with Laine. We got a later start than planned, as Laine took a nice long nap in the morning (and it took a long time to load up the car with all her necessities!) We were so late that we stopped off to eat before the main attraction. At the Mexican restaurant, Laine impressed the staff with an adult sized burp after her bottle!

We went straight to Roozengaarde, and visited their surrounding gardens. Then we headed to the fields for a little walk.

It was hard to get a smile out of Laine even though she was having a great time. There was so much to look at that even getting her to face the camera was difficult!

Daddy pushed Sophie the giraffe in the stroller for a while when Mommy was holding Laine.

It was warmer than it looks--I left my sweater in the car and had to leave my coat on as I had on a sleeveless shirt.

Out in the fields.

Needless to say, we are now inspired to order plenty of bulbs for our yard for next year!

Laine really wanted to grab a tulip!

At the end of the day--asleep with the thumb in the mouth.
