It's about an hour and a half drive away, so we left early and packed a picnic lunch. It was a beautifully sunny day, and perfect temperatures—around 67°-72°F. Because of the long, cold winter, the tulips are making a later appearance than normal, but we still had plenty of colorful fields to admire at Tulip Town.
Hayden loved the Windmill (anything that spins!)
He wasn't so thrilled about Mommy trying to take so many pictures of him! It was actually quite challenging to get any photos more than an arm's length away, because he wanted to hold my hand or run in the opposite direction. He isn't quite old enough to understand the whole "look at the camera and smile" concept. But the nice thing about going with other moms is that we all had our cameras and could get photos of each other with our kids.
The tulip fields were planted in rows that were like big speed bumps. It was a bit of a challenge for the kids to walk around, but they actually thought it was pretty fun. Hayden kept saying "bumpy".
After we "tortured" our kids with a lengthy photo shoot in the tulip fields, we went on a quick little Tractor Ride to the end of the field and back. Hayden LOVED it!
It was a fun, but exhausting excursion. Hayden even slept in the car for about a half hour on the way home. (That makes at total of 3 times sleeping in the car since he was about 6 months old!) We got home around 3pm and Hayden luckily took a 2 hour nap, and I napped for some of that time too! It's days like this that make me wonder how the heck I'm going to handle TWO kids!?! Yikes! :)
