Let the Festival Begin

Tulip time in the National Capital Region once again, it has become a springtime rite of passage for Isabelle and now Oliver. Always a treat packed with beautiful flowers but also attractions for little ones like buskers, balloon animals and face painters. Isabelle has yet to be disappointed. The beds are not quite full yet, but well on their way and we are lucky enough to be positioned to check on them daily. We had a great time strolling through and enjoying the crowds. Isabelle snagged herself a giraffe balloon and promptly popped it when she tripped wearing some wooden clogs. She wasn't upset though, as she followed that up with her turn as the cutest tulip ever! Not to be denied any further tulipping experiences, she also received a butterfly face painting and was not too afraid to let everyone know this several times over on the way back home! More to report soon as we plan on visiting regularly!
