"My only hope for today is that we get a good shot of them in the flowers" - Dad before leaving the house today. At least the weather and the company were good (hi Mike, Renee & Olive!). We survived the perilous drive up to the Tulip Festival, despite the wicked horrible driving of some lady in a Range Rover beside us. After a great waterfront picnic (I challenge anyone to top the veggie burger from The Calico Cupboard. Nothin' doin'.), we headed over to the tulip fields to take in the sights.
Yesterday was Dad's day out with the boys. I love those days. We picked up a couple inflatable balls from Target and headed down to Greenlake. The balls may be a little on the large size (you be the judge), but they still had fun. The stroller stole the show, though. They really got a workout pushing it around.
I really wish we could have been back in Chicago for Ted's memorial service on Saturday. It's easy to feel so close in such a connected world, but times like this make you realize how insurmountable distance can feel. Ted was one of the nicest, most genuine, warmest people you could ever hope to meet. So many great memories. One of a kind. We'll miss you, Ted.
