Catching up

It's been two months since my last post and a lot has happened. We've been busy with yard work, playdates and everything inbetween. It was raining on Easter so the kids had a mini egg hunt in our living room. They got some easter candy and a small toy in their baskets. Logan got a dinosaur flashlight that roars and lights when you pull a trigger. Alex got a Ken doll to go with her Barbies.

Then came the magical time of our tulips. Last fall we planted around 75 bulbs around our yard. Most of them were tulips and all but a couple came up. We bought a 50 pack of these red and yellow ones that came up and had huge heads on them and on some of them the petals fell out so it looked like a lions mane. We also planted some that looked like peonies and they were pretty too.

The kids and I went to the Tulip Festival at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. They plant over 40 acres of tulips and daffodils and it is quite a sight to see them all in bloom. Some of the fields were planted the same color, but most of them were all mixed up to create an amazing array of color. They had a childrens area where the kids could play and a cow train that took them on a little ride.
