Tulip Festival

We went to the Tulip Festival today. It was cold, but at least it wasn’t raining. The tulips are blooming late this year because of our funky weather so I may take Sophia up again in a couple weeks. Hopefully it’ll be warmer!

While we walked around the tulips fields, we saw a couple with a one-month-old baby that made us cringe. We kept our baby bundled in a jacket and two blankets - they didn’t. Uugg!

And then there was the mother telling her three-year-old not to muck around in the mud because he was wearing his new shoes. Why the hell would you bring a child through fields of mud in new shoes if you want them to stay clean?

    We should’ve gone yesterday when it was bright and sunny and warm out.

    *looks closely* Oh, my! What an adorable blanket! And it looks so warm, too. Where did you get it?

    smarmoofus - Yeah we should have gone on Saturday. It was a MUCH nicer day. About the blanket… *fwap* very funny. I made it you smarmy doofus. :P

    Tumblewords - Thank you. I hope to go up either next weekend or the following one. :) It’s very nice up there.
