Woodland Tulip Festival

My mom and I signed up for a 5k tulip trot for the Woodland Tulip Festival on a Saturday morning.

We heard the race start and trotted our hearts out.  The lady who was trailing behind us at the end confessed that she had to jog a little to keep up with us, we were walking so fast.  We made the 45 min. time and did a victory lap over to the show fields and u-pick fields to take some pictures of The Punky for the baby photo contest.

She was fast asleep, snuggled in the jogging stroller, totally unaware that the race had ended.  We took some pictures of her surrounded by tulips i
n her chrysalis and woke her up.  She opened her eyes and said, "Oooooh."  I held her in my arms and turned slowly so she could view all the flowers at once.

Alaska wasn't much interested in getting her picture taken, more so in adventuring and she headed her way down the furrows of tulips.  What pictures we did get, we got in that one stripe of tulips.  She wasn't willing to venture down another row.

We asked her what was in a tulip and she graciously looked inside while Grandma Mary pulled the petals open for her to look in.

Near the end of the row Alaska's punky self started to errupt from her shortened nap and she shook her shoulders to stop the tulips from tapping her on the back, stopping to look behind her and scowl as she tipsed down the rows.

Love that little girl so much!
