Tulips & Grandparents

My parents came to visit this past weekend and we headed to the Skagit Valley Tulip festival. The town has fields of tulips decked out in stunning stripes of colored tulips backdropped by mountains. It was beautiful! We've gone once before but this time we went to Roozengaarde which has the tulip fields but also gardens full of interesting tulip mixtures, varieties, textures, and arrangements. Those were so fun to wander around in and happen upon. The mixtures and heights and textures of each section were lovely and they had it arranged so you  just wove in and out of them.

 

 Roslyn was mostly gentle with the tulips but she did manage to pick a few when we weren't paying attention. She seemed intrigued by them and liked holding onto them but in the end the walkway of rocks did hold her interest more.

We had a picnic in the grass among the tulips, ate some kettle corn, played ball with another little boy, and had such a darn good time!
