Tulip Festival

I took the children to the Tulip Festival this week.  

We met Tysen, Ava, Crew, Griffin, Lyla, Shaley and Roman.

It was beautiful--a floral feast.

 The children ran and ran through the gardens.  

We loved being outside, we loved the flowers, we loved being together.

We are never able to get all five of them to look at the camera at the same time.

See?

We fed fish--lots of fish.  

Fish food for 25cents a handful.  

So much entertainment for so little money.

Brandt wanted to pet the fish.

Blythe too.

Moms and children, although the way we are sitting makes it look like Ava and Griffin are my children

and Brandt, Blythe, and Crew belong to Tysen.  

And again, we only have two out of five looking at the camera in this shot.

Oh well.

My beauties.  

Brandt wanted to find a green (his favorite color) tulip.

We didn't find one.  

We ate lunch and the children ran up and down the hill we were sitting on.

How can such small people just go and go and go?

Blythe has Cheeto face in this shot.

 

They are deliberately making silly faces at me.
