Jake and Amanda invited us to go with them to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point with them today. I've never been, but I have always wanted to go. Since I've been down here for a good three and half years now, I decided it was time to go check it out. It was well worth the trip. The landscaping and the flowers were amazing! It was so much fun to just go walk around and enjoy the amazing scenery. Ava of course loved being outside and smelling all of the flowers. My favorite part was this "secret garden" area that was so much fun. You had to go through a vine tunnel and through this rustic door into a little secluded garden area. I loved it! The only down-side to the secret garden was that there was a beautiful fountain right in the middle. Ava assumed it was a bath tub and started stripping down begging to get in the tubby....She had her shoes kicked off and her jacket off before Chad and I even realized what she was doing. There was a small scene trying to get her dressed again and out of the secret garden, but it was fun anyway. Here are a few pictures of our little day out!
P.S. Notice Ava's Dora shoes. You will probably not see another picture of her without them. She will not take them off. They are part of the family. When she was looking at these pictures, she pointed out Daddy, Mommy, Ava, Dora and Boots....one happy family. All 5 of us!
