Not Exactly "Tiptoe Through the Tulips... "

We knew we were taking a risk, and were totally prepared for some cloudy or rainy pictures in the tulips this year...something cute with raincoats, adorable boots, and umbrellas, right?? Well, the good news is it wasn't raining. The bad news....

CRAZY WIND!!
Lily want NOT happy. She did NOT like the wind. Or the mud. Or the sun in her face. She still looked cute, though. :)

Yucky hands.

Help, Daddy!

We lasted about 2 minutes.

The tulip fields are LOVELY...from the car.

Attempt #2...with two more coats on.

I'm starting to feel like this brilliant Tumblr that went viral this weekend: Reasons My Son Is Crying.

Luckily, we met Geoff and Kim for a lovely dinner in Mt. Vernon followed by pie and a tour of their nursery, about to be filled with brand new Baby McCann, who is due any day now!!

Check out last year's tulip pictures here.

Lily's 1st Trip to the Zoo! 14 Months

We are having a great Spring Feels-Like-Winter Break! It's been cold and really rainy, but we are attempting to make the best of it anyway. Yesterday we took Lily on her first visit to the zoo! We saw lots of animals  (mostly butts). Lily liked them, but she mostly liked watching all the kids, and pushing the stroller around. Grandma Nan came too, which made it even more fun.

Lily started to get really cold and grumpy, but she DID like the tropical bird area! She's super interested in birds right now, plus it was WARM! Grandma Nan is also a fan.

Too much fun at the zoo!
