Tulip Mania

We were fortunate enough to have Kyle's mom come over for her spring break to help take care of Charlie. We didn't want her to spend her whole week in the apartment so we headed up to the Netherlands and Keukenhof for one last visit. One of my favorite things we have done here is ride bikes through the tulip fields in the Netherlands. We couldn't do the bikes with Charlie so we just drove this year, but it was still amazing seeing so many vibrant colors. I always say it feels like you are living in a rainbow up there! Below is a photo of just some of the tulip fields.

The main reason I wanted to go was to get pictures of Charlie in the tulips. However, one thing I have really, really been trying to learn is that with a child you can't always get what you want, things don't always happen the way you want them to and the only thing you can do is let it go and move on. We were up in the fields and Keukenhof for about six hours and in all of that time we got two photos with Charlie. I'm not even putting the other one up because it is just Kyle holding him while he is screaming. We just couldn't get the timing right of him being awake, fed, with a clean diaper, warm, happy, and in the tulips. Oh well, c'est la vie. At least we still got some wonderful photos of the tulips! I don't have time to upload all of our photos but luckily you can just look at the pictures from when we did this with my dad four years ago.
