Tulips
April 9th was Brian's birthday, so he took some friends to the beach house for the weekend to go fishing. My Dad went with them Friday night, so my mom came over and spent the night to help out with the kids. Saturday we drove to the Tulip Festival in Woodburn. I had never been to this one, only the one in Mt. Vernon when we lived in Seattle. This one had a ton of stuff for the kids and the tulips were gorgeous. They even had old fashioned wood burning tractors. Ashley was a bit intimidated by all of this, even the stuff for kids, but she did enjoy a game of duck racing. It was fun to see her try to pump the water and get the duck going. Grammy was there to help and if it were up to Ashley we could have stayed there all day. That night we had a sleep over at Grammy and Grandpa's. Sunday we woke up and went to church and then headed home to see Papa when he got home. It was a great weekend and I'm happy my mom was around to hang out with us.
She wasn't really into posing for the camera, but I though this was cute of the two of them. My mom has so much fun with her.
Enjoying the golf cart ride to the festival, glad we didn't have to walk from where we parked, it wasn't close!
This is the duck race that she really liked. You pump the water and move the duck to the other end where it falls into the bucket.

We took this at the end of our trip and the kids were ready to go! It was a quick picture for memories!
Ashley was terrified of these wood burning tractors because of the loud sound they made when they got going. She liked them much better when they were out in the field far away from her!

This does bring back memories of our trip to Tulip Town. She was a bit younger and still a trooper. I bet she did have fun with those duck races. I love the picture of her and your Mom with the Duck Races sign.
