For spring break I decided we should go to the tulip festival in Mt. Vernon. I wish I could say this was a fabulous trip, but that would be a lie. Somehow I ended up with a bunch of pictures I love, but the truth is all of us we pretty cranky and upset most of the time. When Ezra decided to drop his pants and pee in the middle of the beautiful yard filled with tulips where hundreds of people were crowded around that threw Drew over the edge, and the rest of us right along with him. We have had many talks since, about where we go potty and where we don't. We realize now that we were trying to make our kids have fun our way, and that didn't make them happy at all. We are determined to be a little more relaxed for future family trips, and to try to go with their flow a little more. If we don't, I'm afraid they will remember family trips with horror instead of happiness. Lesson learned! (We want to loosen up, but still won't let our kids pee wherever they want in case you're worried about that.)
As we were walking in, Darcy stopped to smell the tulips.
We all laughed as Drew used his selfie stick that came with his gopro kit to take a video of the tulip fields.
Our kids really did not want to cooperate for a family picture. So this was the more realistic shot.
A little better
