Tip toe...

The Ottawa Tulip Festival is a huge deal here, it's the biggest tulip festival in the world (now really, shouldn't that be in Holland?) Anyway, it's always beautiful and we try to go at least once every year. We tend to avoid all of the carnival-type "stuff" that goes on in Major's Hill Park and stick instead to Commissioner's Park across from Dow's Lake (which has plenty of chip trucks, hot dog vendors, cotton candy sellers, lemonade stands, ice cream carts, face painters, souvenir hawkers and buskers but no big concerts or other strangeness). It seems like the majority of the flowers are there anyway, and so much open space for the kids to enjoy.

Katie is making that face because she's trying to figure out how to kiss the "two lips". LOL, the way kids' brains work!
