Seattle and Skagit Tulip Festival 4/19/09

Since we were already in Seattle for the AMA Races, we decided to go another 60 miles North to Mt. Vernon, Washington;To The 26th Annual Skagit Tulip Festival. Fields and fields of colorful Tulips and Daffodils. There were alot of people there. We had our camera on our tripod so we could get a family photo without bothering anyone else to take it. Funny thing... severalpeople saw us with it and asked us to take their picture, because we looked like we knew what we were doing...?!?! (their words not mine) Now if I could just get Steven to take his shades off of his forhead for a picture!
Yes I am in the middle, I am certain that I won't have that spot for long.

I wish I would have packed a more vibrant shirt for Presley to wear. This light pink looks washed out.

This is Maddy's sense of humor. "Mom take a picture of me, guess who I am?"
LOL (dang I should have taken a picture of Steven while Maddy had his shades)
what was I thinking?

Presley spent most of her time running up and down the rows of tulips.







I thought this was a totally cool picture of Downtown Seattle. On the left is where the Mariner's play Safeco field, then the Qwest Center, home of the Seahawks, that is where the supercross races were. Right in between them is the space needle (or space eagle according to Syd) Right behind these buildings is the Port of Seattle where all of the cruise ships come in. Pikes fish market runs along the pier. If you are ever in Seattle it is worth spending a day there!








The last time we came to Seattle was to pick up Rachelle and Aaron from their Alaska cruise. We all went up in the space needle and Sierra happened to be at girls camp so she didn't get to experience it. So this is for Sierra! Oh and Flat Stanley too! (Flat Stanley is a school project of Sages, he is visiting us and taking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!)

Love the picture of the whole family lined up in the tulips. Probably a very rare chance at having everyone including you and Steve being stair-steps apart.

ya i think Sierra might be just about the same height as steven! Good thing he's hanging on to what hair he has left otherwise i think she'd look taller for sure! lol... don't tell him i said that. "PYT" And i think he's wearing the glasses on the forehead to prevent UV sundamage to his skin... trying to keep the wrinkles away!!!
