Tulip Festival

Every April there is a tulip festival in Woodland. I wanted to go see the flowers and take some cute spring pictures of Madeline in the tulips. Plus, I was going to be one of THOSE moms and send a picture we took in to the tulip festival cutest baby contest (despite Ian's protests).

Well, things didn't go quite as planned. I guess Madeline had different ideas. I even went back another day to try again and had worse luck than the first day. This is pretty much what she did both days...

Besides crying, she was only interested in eating the flowers...


and eating the dirt. She WOULD NOT look at the camera.

Obviously, she wasn't thrilled about getting pictures taken.

Here is a cheesy picture Ian got. The thought blurb in my head for this picture is "Mom. I know you want to get a cute, sweet picture of me with the tulips. Here's your one picture. Take it or leave it. Now get me out of here."


We did luck into a few cute pictures. The last one is my favorite but I think I will send in the next picture.

The picture of her standing in the shoes is my favorite.

I'm looking forward to the post where you tell us you won the cutest baby contest.
