Pomerleau Family Blog: Woodburn Tulip Festival 2019

Brooke and I took the kids to the Tulip Festival one very wet rainy Sunday in mid April. The tulips were extremely late in blooming due to the snow we had in early March so we had to go later than normal to see them bloom. Brooke was out of the town the following weekend and then the weekend after that we had the school's auction so it was really our only day to go. Unfortunately it had been raining hard and was chilly most of the weekend and it was that way when we went. We left early in the morning to avoid a torrential downpour. I decided to take Lulu with me as I figured it would be fun for her to come and get out of the house. She had just been shaved due to getting knots in her legs so she was quite hairless. I probably should have brought a jacket for her too!

We got to the tulip festival and immediately went for the fields before the rain. The tulips were in 60% bloom but it was not crowded at all so we were happy about that. Lulu and the kids had fun amongst the tulips. Poor Luke fell into the mud. Lulu got pretty muddy and then she got cold (again I should have brought a jacket) so I took her back to the car to hang out until we were done. All of the kids' rides were closed due to approaching rain but the kids got to go a fun jumping trampoline halter ride and then Olivia and Addie got to ride ponies. We ate lunch there and then got a treat and headed back home. It was a fun day at the tulip festival, next year we will go when its better weather!
