Tulip festival....picture overload!

ok so I love to take pictures of everything and over the past week I have taken 390 pictures. I edited that down to 238 for facebook and here are some of my favorites from that group. There are a ton, I know but we have had so much fun.

The girls and I set up the tent in our living room to give it a test run before Peter's first scout camp out.

Then they put on matching dresses and ran around screaming for a few hours.

BLACKMAIL.

The girls did my make up and painted each other with my lipstick.

We went to La Conner for the weekend to see the tulips. On Friday Peter and the girls "played cards" Claire was apparently playing strip poker (and losing).
Violet won when she got what she refers to as "7 Kings"

I win!!

Claire was very excited about bedtime.

The campground was on the Swinomish Indian reservation. And we were right on the water. This weekend was the first sunny weekend we have had in a long time and it was GORGEOUS! I got to sneak down to the beach and take a few pictures. It was so warm and peaceful.

Crystal Clear water.

Violet is already to go!

We went to Rozengaarde Tulips. They have a beautiful display garden to show all the types of tulips you can buy from them, and then they have two massive fields you can walk through, one of yellow daffodils and one of red tulips.

The display garden.


Trying to get a family picture is tough when you have 2 uncooperative children.
Maybe someday.

I love this picture. Claire just sat down in the tulip field for a juice break.

two beautiful girls in the tulip fields. I am so impressed, they didn't pick a single flower. We had so much fun.

we got back to our car and there was a whole line of antique cars! they were all so cool. I love old cars. here is a wheel off one of my favorites.

Dyeing easter eggs!

Claire dumped out the blue dye, so there was only one precious blue egg :)

The girls had so much fun this weekend. We love going on these weekend camp outs.

The Campground had an easter egg hunt for the kids.


When we got back to the cabin we had another little easter egg hunt with the eggs the kids had dyed the night before.

I think I am going to google this street and see if I can find out the story behind it's name. Ha ha!

We got Violet's school pictures back this week. Ha ha ha! This is Violet's face that she makes when she doesn't want to do something but she wants your pity so maybe you will give her a cookie or something. Such a sweet little face that has such devious intentions :)

Well there you have it 31 of my favorite pictures out of the nearly 400 we took this week. There are some great ones on my facebook page, if you'd like to see them.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and were able to spend some time remembering our Savior Jesus Christ and his Life and resurrection. We are all so blessed because of his life. Have a wonderful day!

That tulip festival looks amazing. You're lucky to be able to see all that in person.

Great pictures! When you learn the story behind that street name, let me know, that's really funny. Also, the tulip festival looks beautiful - that's one place that I haven't been that is a must! The weather better pick up or I may never get there!
