This is Lester blogging today. It has been awhile since we have blogged, so I thought I would do a short blog about our trip to the Tulip Festival in Woodburn.
Dimit Family 2009
It is a family tradition to go to the Tulip Festival each year, and each year it gets bigger and better. Although it was cold and cloudy today, we didn't get rained on. The tulips are in full bloom and were spectacular. The kids got to take a ride on an old steam powered tractor, which was the highlight of their visit. I was able to shoot dozens of pictures of Elizabeth, the kids, and the beautiful flowers. My favorite part of the visit each year is taking the kids' picture in the wooden shoe. I take their picture every year in the wooden shoe and it brings back a lot of great memories each year as I see them grow up.
Below are the wooden shoe pictures for this year. As an added bonus, I have also included a picture of the 1st year Alexis and Brandon came to the Tulip Festival (they were about 4 months old).

love the wee pictures with the now pictures! so cute!
Those pictures are great. I love seeing them when they were so tiny.
Yeah! It's about time. Long time no post! The pictures are great. I LOVE the tulips too. We need to get there this year.
It's amazing what a few years can do to a child! Great pics.
that's a great family tradition. It looks like you all had a great time...I loved the photos of when your kids were younger.
Great family photo! I think the pictures come out better when it's overcast, but I'm no expert. Last year we were there in the heat--the kids were exhausted and squinting in each picture.
I have always loved seeing these pictures in the wooden shoes. Your kids sure have grown. They are fun cute kids. I tried to talk Scott into taking us to the tulip fields north of Seattle. But the thought of 5 kids in the van 90 minutes each way was too much. Maybe next year!
Man, it's been years since we trekked to the Tulip Festival. One of these years we should take our kids to see it. It is so pretty. Love the pictures of the wooden shoes. Very cute!
