Today, we headed to the Tulip Farm with friends to enjoy the gorgeous weather. The night before, I was optimistic that I would get some great shots of the kids in this beautiful atmosphere...until morning time came.
As we were getting ready for the day, I soon realized that the day may not go according to planned. I think we ALL woke up on the wrong side of the bed! Unfortunately, I think we're all still a little under the weather with runny noses and coughs...let's just say none of us brought our "A game".
This is how a big chunk of the day went...
In all fairness, I should probably share some of the sweet moments...

OMGoodness!!! I am Laughing Hysterically here! Why? You wonder. We took our kids to the Tulip Farm here (in Tulip city USA mind you) on Saturday and well...there were NO blooming tulips...not one! And Anne Hope screamed and cried the whole time. Gavin joined in at the site of the first bug - seriously a 4 year old boy crying over a bug! at a farm! Oh Dear, you don't know how glad I am to know that somewhere 1/2 way across the USA a friend can "feel our pain."
Wow how beautiful! I've never seen a Tulip farm before but this is really amazing!!
Even though the kids had an off day the pictures are PRICELESS and very sweet!!! I love all the colors!
"Tip-toe-ing through the Tulips"... should have been your title~hee ;-)
Great shots!
Those are sweet pictures and what beautiful flowers too.
Lovely shots! Glad you got to go when they were so beautiful!

I'm sorry but I had to laugh out loud when I saw Mikayla's last crying picture. Some how it seems comical when it's not MY kid. hee hee.
So you went with Kim? I didn't know you to knew each other in 'real' life. How cool.
The tulips are BEAUTIFUL!
OH...I forgot how beautiful the tulip farm is. Looks a like a 'memorable' day =).
I know what it is like to be so excited about going somewhere and then the kids are not in a great mood, how it dampens the mood. You did get some great pictures of the kids. I so want to come to see all of those tulips. Did you get to pick any tulips?
Hope you have a great Monday!
I get it! So many days my daughter doesn't bring her "A" game these days! I guess it's all part of the joys of child raising, huh? :)

Cute pics Heidi! It was a beautiful day today :) Glad we got to say hi!
Still such beautiful pictures!!! I sooo love tulips! What an amazing place! Your kids are just adorable even with some tears!!!
I just love those beautiful shots... even the crying ones. I'm pretty sure Mikayla's howling shot had sound because somehow I could hear her through the photo. :) Beautiful photos, darling children. You are blessed indeed!
what beautiful shots. I was just thinking yesterday about how i love going to the tulip festival in our area.
Ohmygoodness! I don't think I have ever seen so many tulips before! They are gorgeous! The kiddos are pretty cute too...even if they weren't smiling in every picture!
I have always wanted to get pictures of ER with all the lovely tulips behind her. But you know, I'd probably end up with the first set of pictures being my only ones!
So glad things got better and you got the postcard worthy ones too!
What beautiful tulips!! And even the crying pictures are memories worth documenting -- you and your kids will probably have fun laughing at those fussing pics in about 20 years!
Wow, those tulips are gorgeous! And the children are just full of sweetness even in their sad pictures!
beautiful tulips (and adorable kiddos). posting my picture with the boys and tulips tomorrow!
