TULIP TOWN!

We live in Tulip Town!  Mount Vernon grows, I don't know the percentage, but a huge number of the world's tulips!  No joke...every April our traffic sucks, but the views across the fields are AMAZING!  This year we are even hosting the World Tulip Summit!  Ok...whatever that is, but it's big!  We love taking advantage of these beautiful views and we only have to drive 5 minutes to get there!  On Friday, Megan was watching Harper and Rhona came down and they went to Roozengarde(one of the tulip companies).  Today my mom came up and we went to Tulip Town!  It was a beautiful day!  Blue skies, no wind and good kids made the day perfect!  We got a couple good pictures, rode a tractor and Xavier got his face painted!  Phew...visiting the tulips in April...check!

Don't be fooled by the date on the pictures...it was not 4/13/2008!  
Harper & Grandma matching in their brown sweaters!

The tulips look bigger than Harper!
 I love this one!
