Tulips
- by Brittany
Last Saturday, April 10th, we went to Tulip Town. It’s over 300 acres of tulips in Mount Vernon. It took us forever to get there, about twice as long as it should have. Luckily, the kids slept most the way. It was windy, and kind of cold, but the sun was shining. It was a nice, clear day. Jameson was so excited to see the kites in the air. (He’s trying to jump high to reach the kites.)
You weren’t supposed to venture through the tulips, which we obeyed in the beginning…
but the pictures were too good to resist not venturing a little ways down the rows.
We had a nice old man (that had a very nice camera on a tripod) take our picture for us. I think this is our first photo as a family of 4. We never did take any at the hospital with everything that was going on. You can see Mt. Vernon covered in snow behind us.
Jameson doesn’t like to get too close to Ella in our presence. When we’re not there, he has no problem. He did take one picture for us, and then watched the planes. He’s also learned to do “thumbs up” so he tries all the time.
We got a few of Ella in the Tulips. Hopefully I can get some of these on an announcement soon.

We checked out the display tulips, then headed to the barn to see the horses.
Before we left, Ella tried on her dad’s sunglasses. She looked pretty good.
