We had quite a wet spring this year, so even though we waited until the end of the month (like we normally do so the crowds are smaller, it actually happened to be on one of the only sunny dry weekends we had. So, it was a bit busier than normal, but because the season is late, there were still thousands of flowers and almost all of them were still in full bloom. So we didn’t have to hike out to see the big fields. They were just right there. We had a lot of fun and the kids loved running around. Morgan loved feeling all the flowers and smelling them. Since it was a wet year, the grounds were dry, but they were still spongy. Walking out to the fields felt like walking on the rubber of a playground. We stopped at Snow Goose Produce and for the very first time, the line wasn’t ridiculously long, so we grabbed some ice cream. We didn’t know the cones were so huge, so we all got one. Way to much though!! Our favorite across the bunch was the Salted caramel. The others we tried were death by chocolate, huckleberry, strawberry, some coffee one (I’m not a fan, so I didn’t try that one) and a regular chocolate one. The others were good, but we all loved the salted caramel. We hung out at Roozengarde and had a blast for the rest of the day. It is nice to be able to just walk through the tulips and the kids have more room. We actually haven’t done anything else for the festival in all the years we have been going. I was bummed that I was having problems with the camera, so a lot of the photos were out of focus, but they are still beautiful photos.
