Flower Power

Yup, we're still getting caught up on our photo log, and I think we will be for a few more weeks' worth of posts. I thought today I'd put up some pictures of our trip to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point back in April. If you haven't been there for the festival, it is quite a spectacle as every year they plant over a quarter of a million tulip bulbs, along with assorted other flowers. We've been a couple of times, and although we don't know the first thing about horticulture, we have fun just wandering around, pointing wildly about and saying "Ooh, pretty flowers!" But most importantly, the gardens are good for photo ops.



Well, they would be good photo ops if we could get our girls to look at the camera. That's as good of a family photo as we're gonna get for a long time, I think.



Of course, the most interesting thing for the girls weren't the flowers, but the many water fountains. This is the view we had of Tori most of the time.



Madeleine nearly climbed into a couple of the fountains.



Luckily, we kept them mostly dry. But in the end, nothing is as fun as taking your entry sticker and plastering it to your forehead.



Monkey see, monkey do, you know?

Our kids don't look at the camera either. They'll point their head in the general direction, but their eyes are elsewhere as they say "Cheese". Why do kids do that???
