Saturday morning Andy had a conversation with Rachel explaining to her that tulips are flowers. She simply thinks tulips are tulips and flowers are flowers. She doesn't quite understand the whole concept of grouping, but she'll get there. When we were saying family prayers on Saturday night Andy was thanking Heavenly Father for the flowers and Rachel quickly corrected him in the middle of his prayer and told him to say tulips. Silly girl!
So, after the parade on Saturday night we drove through quite a bit of countryside in search of some tulip fields. After driving around for about an hour (traffic was horrible) we finally settled on a field and got out to take some pictures. Of course by that time Audrey was enjoying a nice little nap, so we first just took some pictures of the flowers...
And then of course Rachel...
Rachel loved walking down the rows, which she called "roads". The yellow tulips were almost as tall as her. So pretty!
Rachel even took some pictures of her daddy... 
And I snapped a picture of the two of them together...
And then we woke Audrey up...
We attempted to take some family pictures with the tripod. Audrey was more interested in the flowers, the dirt, or the people walking by. 
And of course Rachel had to give us a big cheesy smile on our last attempt...
We enjoy seeing the tulips every year. We live in such a beautiful world and are thankful for all the beautiful sites that we get to enjoy.

Tulips are my favorite and they look absolutely gorgeous. Your girls are so cute and I can't believe how grown up Rachel is starting to look.
I want to go there!! Wow! That is beautiful!
What beautiful pictures of your sweet family. We haven't ventured out to see the flowers yet. Hoping it's not too late. By the beginning of May, most fields are bare.
Just simply amazing. You'll be so glad you have these pictures in years to come when you move back to the states. Wow.
