Tulip Festival!!

My mom & I have talked about going to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point for years-- we FINALLY made it!


We made a quick stop at the Tech to check out all the cool wheels at the car show... especially my brother Kayden's rockin' red camero!

We picked Courtney up at her new apartment in Springville. So good to see her!

Kurtis, Katie & me

Cute kids & gorgeous flowers!

We walked & walked & walked... but Katie's is still smiling!

Kurtis was a pretty good sport considering he had to spend the day with all of us girls & we made him walk for hours just to look at flowers!

Courtney's glamour shots at the "Fragrance Garden"

This cracks me up! Not sure if she's dragging him or he's trying to keep her from running off...either way, the hoodie was rather handy!

The Rose Garden-- one of my favorites-- no flowers yet but I LOVED the design!

Aaahhhh.... Welcome, SPRING!!

Yay! Finally something to play with !

Mom in the Secret Garden. Funny story behind this photo.... Courtney told my mom to pose by the pretty flowers so we would have a good picture of her to put on her funeral program when she dies! LOL!! Way to plan ahead, Courtney!

So I had to get one, too... just in case!

Hey, Wes... this is what I want our backyard to look like, okay?!?!

The kids found some souveniers at the vendors market and I found some shade and a bench! Note to self: don't wear flip-flops to Tulip Festival... blisters between toes really hurt!

The Mountain Garden is awe-inspiring! WOW!

The kids really like the water falls! Katie wants one in our backyard... Hey, Wes... did you hear that one, too... we got lots of landscaping ideas here!!
