This year we had the opportunity to go to the tulip festive as a family. the day was perfect. We started the day early. Everett was very concerned about the Easter bunny coming on Sunday. He didn't want to go to church the day the Easter bunny came. Gwenevere with her big sister love helped Everett write the easter bunny and ask that he or she come the day before easter sunday.
I woke up to Grace running into my bedroom to wake up Edgar and let him know she found his Easter basket. best way to wake up.
we sat around the living room watching our kids dive into their new books soaking in everyminute in in rush to make breakfast or start the day. but at last it was time.
After breakfast we went outside and started planting our garden, then we loaded up the car and took off to the tulip festival.

By the time we arrived in woodburn we where all hungry so we stopped at arctic Circle for burgers and fries/ YUMM

Everett LOVED all the posing posters and asked for pictures at every one. I LOVE this boy.
Even though the place was packed with weekend visitors we found our own little corner of the garden that we spent over an hour exploring and taking pictures.

| Gwenevere wanted a turn posing people and taking pictures. hehehehehe |
 |
| Since we never got a holding hand picture for our wedding day I think i'll keep this picture forever. Thanks Gwenevere |

| I like her perspectives on life "raise your hands to heaven" |

| Did I mention it was muddy? |
 |
| We stayed to watch the sunset |

| and the 1910's tractor firework display. |
after a very good and muddy day ( dropped my camera into a very muddy puddle) we piled back into the car, stopped by dairy queen on the way out of town for ice cream and drove back home watching the moon travel with us.
Happy Easter Sunday. I love this quote. He whom you seek is risen. May I always be seeking my Savior, following in his footsteps and sharing his love with those around me.
Since we spent Saturday at the tulip fields we didn't get around to decorating easter eggs until Sunday. and then we didn't even hide the eggs until Monday. hahahhahhaa

Funny little story. I hid 12 eggs but we could only find 11. I have no idea where we lost the last egg. a few weeks later we had a tree cutting service come and take the birch tree in our front yard out. When they left I found our missing egg next to our little garden by the front door. hahahahha thanks tree guys for finding the egg before the local raccoons found it.
Happy Easter Weekend
