Tulips


Nolan and I needed an adventure so we made the trek up to La Conner to see the tulip fields. Luckily Aunt Em and Cousin Clem were free too so we met them up there. It was supposed to be nice, or at least warm but it wasn't either of those. We were brave (although I'll admit to being a bit whiny) and went out anyway to see the sites. We tried to pose the kids for proof of how much fun we were having. They did not cooperate...
I love this perfectly imperfect shot, once they got those they wouldn't put them down so this is fitting.
After a few minutes of picture taking, we had had enough. It was too cold and windy to be outside so I bundled Nolan up in his stroller and put down the windbreaker so at least he would be warm and dry. I guess he was quite content in there as he flipped himself around and grabbed the tulip bulb order form to read.
Despite the horrible weather, closed tulip farms and mediocre lunch I always have fun with my sister and little Clem. We wrapped up the day by giggling uncontrollably while Clementine attempted to pick up every single rock in the gravel parking lot and put it in the planter box. Good times!

Hooray for tulip adventures and misadventures. Glad you're (both) staying entertained. Tulips on a bad day are better than work on a good day, I always say.
