We made our annual journey to the Tulip Festival on Friday. Sean was on a ‘guys weekend’ so it was just me and kids. I picked Brennan up from Kindergarten and we high-tailed it Mount Vernon, WA. Brennan really enjoys playing at the park with his friends almost every day after school, so it took some real bribery to get him into the car and on the road. So, my promise was that we could stop and get ice cream BEFORE we went to the Tulip Fields. Last year, we waited until AFTER the Tulip Fiends and this little shop had about a 40min line for Ice Cream. Their road side sign says ‘immodest ice cream cones.’ Yes, I would agree…..I told Brennan that he would get an ice cream cone the size of his head…..he literally ate the whole thing.
We only went to two fields. The one below I kind of stumbled upon and was able to park easily, so I pulled off. Yes, the colors really are this amazing.
I was telling Brennan, ‘whatever you do, DON’T smile at me…..”
Yeah, a decent shot with me in it!!!!
I was trying to break up the “turn around and smile at me” request – so instead I asked Brennan to star jump…..he of course, said NO, but then promptly decided he was going to show Caelan how to do it. I love this shot……he really got ‘air.’
Caelan’s attempt at a jump….
Our next stop was a place called Tulip Town…..Brennan had to hoist himself up to get to that top window.
Working off that ice cream……Brennan loved jumping between the mounds for each Tulip row.
Where’s Caelan?????
Brennan was collecting the flowers that were on the ground in between the rows….he was pretty proud of his collection.
