Tulip Festival 2010

It is that time of year again...the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival! It was opening weekend so only about 40% of the tulips were actually in bloom - but it was the most beautiful day we have had in a while - blue skies, 75 degrees, no breeze.



This year Jen's parents were in town during this event. They had never been to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens before so we were glad to show them around. Zach got the special treatment in the wagon. He totally looked like a tourist, check it out:

One of our favorite things to do is visit the Coy fish - we feed them :) The boys had fun getting the food and making the fish swim all around to get it!


Then Zach decided that he was going to be the one to pull the wagon...



And then Zach decided he was going to go IN the fountain at the Secret Garden (literally):



Logan loved the gardens as well....he had the Bjourn view:

Some relaxing time spent at the huge waterfall amphitheater - Zach did lots of running around:


Then snack time for everybody. Zach made it known he wanted cotton candy. Of course being the push over that he is...daddy (Dustin) bought it for him. I have never seen a kid rip into cotton candy so fast. He only made it through 1/3 of the bag and then he stopped because he hit his sugar tolerance levels. Watch him try and shove all of it in his mouth:



Towards the end of the trip Jen's dad ended up wearing Zach's hat. We thought this was pretty funny....but it kept him from getting sunburned on the head!

Family shot!

We had a great time (as always) and were happy to FINALLY be able to take Jen's parents to see the beautiful Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Our Thanksgiving Point membership was recently renewed so we will have to head back to the gardens in a week or two to see more of the blooming tulips!
