Tulip Festival

We decided to go to Tulip Festival in my hometown this year.  It was the first time in a few years and it was our first trip away from home with Isabelle.  I was very much looking forward to the trip; however, the trip down there was not so good.  Isabelle puked about 5 times between leaving Thursday night and Friday morning.  Once we got through that part, the weekend was very good and Isabelle even slept 9 hours!

One bonus for the weekend was Uncle Tom, Aunt Michelle and crew were there, so Amelia was able to spend some time with her cousins.

Grandpa setup a blow-up pool and Amelia had lots of fun 'observing' the pool.

Amelia helping Daddy into the pool, since she wasn't so sure about it.  I have to admit - the water was quite cold, so who can blame a girl for that?!

Daddy helping Amelia into the pool - she didn't last long!

Uncle Tom giving the slide a try - what great form he has!

Daddy giving the slide a try also - note Amelia with the hose in the background, she loved the hose and spraying water!

 Amelia had major sugar that night.  Here she is trying a fudge puppy which is kind of like a chocolate covered waffle.  yum.

 Yes, she liked it.....
