a little thing called tulip festival

we get to attend this festival in aaron's home town each year. we love going back to see grandma and grandpa, great grandma and great grandpa and some of aaron's friends from high school. the flowers are beautiful and there is lots for the kiddos to do. this year we had a full house with all three kiddos and us, as well as rachel and my mom and terry. we had tons of fun- and minus a few swats at eli by noah- i think they had fun too. eli- we're still sorry about that! here are some pics from our trip. we are off to the water park tomorrow with some good friends and hopefully we'll get some photos there too. and for anyone reading this- any advice on stopping the hitting would be greatly appreciated. we're currently trying "time-out"- but it's not really that great. anyway- we'll take what we can get! have a great night....
