Tulips, tulips everywhere!

Thanksgiving Point has a tulip festival every year and since we've lived in Utah now for 7 years (5 for Eli), it was about time that we headed on over for some spring time fun! Here's what we did:

Saw lots and lots and lots of tulips! My favorite are the orange and red ones (there are even some right outside of our apartment right now!),


Played peek-a-boo through mommy's hair
Rolled sideways across the hill (down is too scary) while saying "weeee" the whole time and ending up in the dirt next to the tulips.
Worked it with mommy's glasses
The tulips didn't take all the spotlight. The daffodils were also gorgeous! (Don't you just love how the sun is shining on the flowers in the bottom left?!)
Worked on our balance while playing "chase" on the hill
Ran from daddy
Played with his brand new ball, courtesy of grandpa lenny
Ate super delish kettle corn and discussed how to make it turn out so good (Lenny used to make buckets filled with popcorn when Eli and his siblings were growing up so these two men really were trying to figure out how to get the flavor and shape of the popcorn just right!)

Smelled the flowers

Took some "sit-in-front-of-the-flowers-in-a-cheesy-family-photo-pose" pictures.
Watched the sun set over the beautiful gardens.

I told Lenny while I was there that I wished everyday could be like this! We chatted, played, relaxed, and soaked in the gorgeous springtime blossoms.

My eyes are watering and my nose is itching just looking at all those flowers, but they sure are gorgeous! What a nice day and great pictures!
