Tulip Festival

For a playgroup a couple weeks ago, we went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point and had a great time. The weather was superb and we were in good company! Thanks Jessica for getting us the 50% discount! Yay for friends that will hook you up :)

I've come to terms with the fact that may never be the "perfect" picture taker. Meaning, as a mother I have all these hopes of getting these adorable pictures of him sitting contently in the flowers with a perfect pose or sitting with some friends on a bench with a big natural smile. Nope. I think I've just had to learn that Cole is who he is. I can't change him and he doesn't want to be changed. I do admire that he is a leader and doesn't just follow the crowd but when he is running off and putting himself in danger, I lose my cool. HEH. Anyway, despite all that, it was a gorgeous day and we had a good time enjoying the tulips. It really was a good experience. Probably not worth the full price (ok, totally not worth the full price) but it was definitely worth half price!

Love Cole's expression in that last picture.

Look how cute your little man is. How fun. I have 3 boys and I love every minute of it.

love the last pic of Cole, so cute! I came to that same realization too....what I happen to capture is what really happened, so I should love it for that reason. A cutely posed picture may be cute, but it's just not my life (or my kids' personalities)!

Wow I can't believe how big he's getting - and how much he looks like DANNY!! And look at your HAIR GORGEOUS. I am totally envious of your long locks.

Cole's the cutest. So, we were supposed to go down there and then I discovered how much it was. Lucky you to get a discount! I'm loving your hair, too. I'm guessing you didn't like your bangs?

Nice shirt on the kid.
Wow, your hair is so long! You look so pretty! I've heard good things about the tulip festival, but haven't ever been.
