She was terrified!

We had a very interesting day at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Thought we'd share a pleasant afternoon together as a family and get a few nice photos with the tulips. Little did we know that Lucy was scared for her life.


See below for how the day panned out.......


Lucy in the parking lot before we made it into the tulip fields.

Happy girl, unaware of what is lurking in the background......

Beautiful tulip fields to us.......FRIGHTENING to Lucy!






What the heck are these things? Her first time near the tulips.
She acted a bit hesitant, but we were busy smiling at the nice lady who offered
to take our picture.

Then I took Lucy into the field so Walt could capture a photo. As soon as I knelt down near the flowers, she screamed with terror. I thought maybe something happened, stung by a bee, pinched by something in the baby Bjorn??



Take two in the pink field......nope, screaming again!

I tried to show her the flowers were okay, I touched them, smelled them,
and the screaming only got louder. We quickly walked away from the
flowers and she began to calm down.


Lucy back in the parking lot safe and sound.
It took at least 10 minutes to calm her down.

We packed up and headed far away from tulip land, maybe next year......
We thought the first time at the zoo may be a little scary, never did we think
fields of flowers would give her nightmares.....all part of the learning experience.
