cow train-moooo

"an onange one"

tiptoe-ing through the tulips

I fit in a shoe

We had a beautiful day for the Tulip Festival this year! Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Angela all met us there. Oliver had a blast romping through the tulips, riding the cow train and playing in the hay. The cow train was pretty exciting- we went through a giant mud puddle and were surprised to come out clean. We watched the pony rides but Oliver thought they were a little scary to pat or ride- maybe next year!
