Where We Find Her

Tily is all over the place and into everything!

Tulip Time 2013

The tulips were nearly perfect this year (it wasn't Stemfest 2012), and the weather was beautiful for the most part.  That is until Saturday, but we still decided to watch the parade.   It was really cold and wet (it rained off and on).  And we even got back out our winter clothes!  It was 40 degrees when we returned the car, but the kids loved it anyway.

We Kinda Love This Zoo

We went back to Binder Park Zoo again; I think we might have an annual spring tradition on our hands.  We loved our visit last year, so we decided to go again.  It's really something to look especially at Tilden when we visited Binder Park Zoo just one year ago; she obviously has changed the most!
This year we took the trip with some extended family.  From Brighton's perspective just about everything gets even better when his cousins are involved.  We fed the giraffes of course and had a wonderful time.  It was a beautiful day,  so we even followed our visit with a picnic lunch.

Walcotts and the Warmer Weather

Just like everyone else in West Michigan we were thrilled when the temps finally became a bit warmer.  It took what seemed like forever, but spring finally arrived.  I suppose at least all of those April showers will bring May flowers (and green lawns).  We've been spending a lot of time outside and getting really dirty.  Everything outside is new for Tilden: following her brother down the slide, walking around with a ball, and even grass and dirt.  We've been getting play clothes really dirty and lovin' life.
