All beautiful, but none alike. ~James Montgomery

I was so looking forward to the Tulip Festival this year, so I could take some more macro pictures. The tulips came on late this year because of the colder weather. So a combination of the bad weather, putting the swing set up, and all of us being sick, we didn't make it to the Tulip festival before the last day!! Today was the last day, and even though I hate huge crowds, I still wanted to go. Mike did not, so he stayed home with Rowan while she napped, and Liam and I went. Below are a few of my favorite pictures.

Tulip Festival 2010

Last year we bought a membership for Thanksgiving point at the first of May, and we missed the Tulip Festival by just a week. So I have been waiting for an entire year to go and take some pictures. My new found hobby is taking macro pictures of plant life. Here are a few of my favorites.

And the most beautiful of all! I love her eyes in this one.

I was not able to get any pictures of Liam because he is a very fast 2-year old, and now thinks it's a fun game to run away from mom and dad! Seriously, I think that kid will end up doing some kind of sport that involves running, he is just too fast. How do you train your kid to stick by you? It just isn't safe to be running off like that, especially in big crowds. And the harness/backpack thing does not work because he just pulls on it till he falls over. Anyway, training him to stick by us is going to be a work in progress, and we are open to ideas.
