Life in super Technicolor(r)!!

Yesterday I loaded up the family and we headed just south of Portland, Oregon to a little town called Woodburn. They have a beautiful tulip farm, and put on a nice little festival that was fun for the whole family.

I was gambling that the weather would be nice. I lost.

It started out rainy, and ended up intermittently cloudy and sunny, but all in all was a very nice day.




There were tractors out in the fields (old-timey tractors) that the kids were able to play on, in addition to some silly Dutch-themed cut-outs that the kids had fun in.



And thankfully both kids played nice when it was photo time!



I even got Catherine to drop the umbrellas and pose for a couple of photos.




There were the standard rows upon rows of same-style tulips, but then there was a very large couple of sections where random bulbs were thrown in together that I found to be just amazing. There was also a large kid-play area with swings, slides, rubber-duckie races, and other fun stuff. It made for a very nice day for everyone.



It was a big day, but definitely worth the drive time to get there. Have a wonderful day everybody! Cheers,

Marc
