Flowers

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers...all in a golden afternoon.

(Alice in Wonderland)
Well, we did learn a lot of things the afternoon we spent at the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival.

It was our first time attending, and the first thing I learned is that 1) it is WAY bigger than I expected.


2) Tulips smell lovely.
3) Trying to get a 1 1/2 year old little boy to smile (let alone hold still) for a picture is nearly impossible.
4) Grandma's and flowers are both sweet

5) Riding on bears (even if they are only statues) is really fun. And making growling sounds the entire time is even more fun!

6) Camden has enough energy to keep 5 adults on their toes!

7) Little children LOVE wide open, grassy areas to run around in...
Camden is no exception.






8) The sun loves us, and the feeling is mutual.

9) I should visit Italy. The Italian gardens told me so.
10) Anywhere you can find Navajo tacos, Brazilian lemonade, deep fried doughnuts, and ice-cream- is a good place in my book.


11) A day running around among the flowers is not relaxing, but completely exhausting! Both for Camden and Mama...

and makes for a lovely afternoon :)

  1. Looks like a gorgeous day--glad you went before all this rain we've been getting. And Camden is getting so big!
