Last year at this time, still living in Kyiv, I was promised we would go to the Tulip Festival this year. And we did! But while I was getting everything ready, this happened.
I found him sucking on a little bottle of blue food coloring. In one end, and out the other. Darryl did take a picture of the other end, but I decided not to post it. Forest green.
We loved seeing the tulips. Daniel loved walking around in the mud. He was fascinated with mud puddles, and was generally careful not to step in them. But in the end he fell in one – good thing I brought a change of clothes.
I put this picture in of Daniel because I just love his little dimple on his right cheek.
At one end of the field we went to, there was a weed area, aka dandelions. This may have been the kids’ favorite part. Kathryn and Amelia think they are just beautiful flowers and pick them wherever they see them. Kathryn loves the idea that she can sprinkle seeds and then more flowers will grow. I only recently tried to explain it was a weed.
Hopefully none of those flower seeds will make it to Kansas! The tulips are beautiful.
