Last weekend after a successful egg hunt, we headed down to the Tulip Fest. It was one of the first things we did last year when we moved here and it's very special for me. It was perfect to do it on Easter. It was cloudy and rainy on our way down there. But the moment we started our walk to the tulips, the rain stopped. Then the sun peeked out and we frolicked amongst the flowers (and then with impeccable timing, the rain started again once we got back in the car). Cooper was much more interested in the toys they had up by the gift shop so we headed back up there for him to play for a bit. He also enjoyed his first taste of McDonald's that day, chicken Mcnuggets. I poison tested one and oddly they don't taste as good as they did when I was a kid! We ordered our bulbs for next season, which should go quite well in the front yard of our NEW HOUSE! We move in at the end of this month and we couldn't be more excited. We found a house that will be a great fit for us and it's in a neighborhood we have loved since we moved here.
Later on in the week, we had some family friends in town for a visit. They were checking out all of Oregon and ended their trip with us. They had lots of fun playing with the kids and we took them to the Saturday Market yesterday before they left. Then we spent most of the rest of the day outside because it was gorgeous. Olivia modeled the new hat she got for Easter and spent some time eating grass. She's still like a puppy in many respects. She got some grass in her mouth (we took it out), then she tried to eat some that was still connected to the ground, like a baby cow. She is crawling all over now which makes being outside more difficult because she wants to put EVERYTHING in her mouth. The fun part about her crawling is that Cooper is so much more interested in actually playing with her now. He crawls away from her really fast and then goes around a corner, waits for her to catch up, and then peeks around the corner and surprises her. She thinks it's hilarious.
Next week, Cooper will be THREE! I can't believe how quickly time has gone by.
Enjoy the pictures!
