The Jippings invited us to the Woodburn Tulip Festival today. I'd never been before, but it was fun and I think we'll have to make this an annual tradition.
It started out cold and cloudy, but by the end of our time there the sun had come out and it was warm. There were games, bouncy houses, face painting, vendors, food, wooden shoe and cow train rides, rubber duck races, and, of course, lots of tulips.

After the tulips, I taught a lesson and then we went shopping, got some Froyo, played with a cat at a pet store, walked around, made chicken burgers, and played. Evelynd surprised me by talking so much more today. She said harp (although she sounded like she was from New York: Hawp), ball, pig, stop, done. She also started singing Skinamarinky Dinky Dink with the hand motions. It was very cute.
It was a fun, beautiful Saturday.
