Rained Out

The first weekend of the annual Tulip Festival brought with it weather reminiscent of our wedding day,with winds, single-digit temperatures and lots and lots of rain. So, with tulip touring and any other outdoor-related activity pretty much off-limits, our playdate with Brooklyn moved indoors to the Children's Museum across the river in Hull. Seems we weren't the only ones with this idea as the place was so busy that the parking was completely full. The two girls had a wicked time doing crafts, playing make-believe and just plain having fun with all the props and exhibits the museum has to offer. Oliver was simply content to just tool around, but especially loves the big tour bus and the giant boat. He went up and down the steep ramp to the boat about 25 times, perfecting a difficult trip with not one pratfall on his record! We stopped to snack and then finished up the day with dressup in the big theatre, where Isabelle was thrilled to see a bridal party come in and take some shots! Hope the weather turns soon, what's with the March temperatures in May?

Hey, Bus Driver, speed up a little bit!
