Tulip Festival 2013

 Hooray, it's Tulip Festival time!  
This year we brought an extra friend along - Flat Stanley!
 Some of the tulips were still hiding away in their buds.
 But there were plenty of other flowers to make up for it.
 We found a giant hill for rolling down.
 And a nice spot at the bottom of the water falls for eating lunch.
 (happy kids!)
 This year we made sure to hit the Children's Garden early on, so we wouldn't be too worn out for it.
 She actually made the jump across that gap.
 We love this crazy climbing ball.
 The kids pretended it was a bee-hive.  
May was the Queen Bee, of course.
 On to the "Lift and Roll" area.
 How strong is James?  This strong!
 My little angels.
 We of course stopped to feed the koi.
 And we even saw a beaver!
 Flat Stanley really liked this sign.  (He's kind of an odd duck.)
 Here's a garter snake.  Flat Stanley will point to him for you.
 I adore these white/fucshia tulips, so pretty.
 And of course my favorites have always been the daffodils.
The kids were even total troopers for the long ride home.  
Hooray for the 2013 Tulip Festival!
