tiptoe through the tulips

whitney and i took all our boys to the tulip festival... because these kids just love tulips! or maybe it's us. i can't be sure. it was pretty freezing cold and windy as all get out, but the boys actually still had fun running around and probably ruining lots of other people's photos. ha. sorry people. the tulip festival has been a weird tradition that we have started and now we'll probably pose all our tiny men in tulips for the rest of their lives. except i have no pictures from 2013. what in the world? we did not go that year? i don't even know, man. we also went to eat at the skagit valley brewery because that is kind of a thing now too. truth be told... i'm never that impressed. ha. sorry brewery. BUT, i am always impressed with the tulips! they are my all time favorite and i love living so close to a festival promoting my favie flower of all the flowers. i also love these adorable little boys. duh. 

flashback!

tiptoe through the tulips

whitney and i took the boys to the tulip festival and i was a little scared that whitney might have to deliver my baby in a tulip field, but good news... she didn't! the tulip fields are so beautiful and wonderful and i just love that i live so close to them! they are my all time favorite flower and mount vernon is just such a cute little town and what is not to love?! i'm not sure beckett and quinn would have picked tulip fields as their top weekend activity choice, but they still had fun hanging out together. anyways, if we totally ignore when quinn threw up all over the sidewalk after lunch (which we will) it was a great day!

street fair

here are some pictures from the crazy street fair in mt. vernon... at the tulip festival. don't be scared of the creepy clown that made pretty terrible balloon animals (or airplanes). 

tiptoe through the tulips

whitney and i made plans to wake up early sunday morning and take the boys to the tulip festival. my alarm went off and i sat in bed wondering if we were the craziest people ever to drive our two toddlers over an hour away to a field of flowers. i decided it was worth the photo opportunity and got us ready. the boys did pretty good on the (two hour with traffic!) drive there. they also did pretty good at the tulip fields... until quinn landed in the biggest mud puddle ever and whitney almost peed her pants over it. they even both did okay at the super hot and crowded street fair we took them too (pictures on that later maybe). we lost them on the way home though... too much in one day. beckett screamed hysterically for twenty minutes straight and when he could scream no more, his good friend quinn was there to take over. here is the nice part about all this. the pictures turned out pretty darn cute and in twenty years when i look at them, i won't remember the screaming drive home and i will think by the look of the photos that we had a really nice day. and mostly we did. 

b and q at the tulips one year ago... geezie creezie...
