Tulip Festival 2009

Boy what a busy few days we have had! First of all, Holland Happening was this weekend which is a festival held here in Oak Harbor that celebrates it's Dutch heritage. It starts with a huge parade on Saturday morning. Then there are street vendors set up selling everything from clogs to Kettle Corn. Oh, and did I mention the carnival comes to town too? Madison looooves the merry-go-round! She also liked the ferris wheel, the little planes and little cars too =)

We also went to the annual Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley (about half an hour from here). Thousands and thousands of tulips were in bloom, and it was a beautiful day. We were lucky to have Audrey and Anna come with us (I sure needed an extra set of hands to help me out with the girls while I attempted to take pictures in the tulips!)

This last picture is Madison flying a kite. She thinks it's absolutely fascinating =)
