Tulip Festival without Tulips

Holland, Michigan celebrates Tulip Time Festival every year. This year it is scheduled to be celebrated from May 5 to May 12. However, this year, it may be celebrated without the tulips. Due to the unseasonably warm weather we have been having here in Michigan, everything is blooming early. This includes the tulips. I have been wanting to see the Tulips for quite some time and today we did! The rain cut our trip a little short, but we were able to visit Veldheer's Tulip Farm before the rain came. I am a sucker for tulips (I prefer them to the very cliche roses when receiving flowers). So imagine my excitement to see 5.5 million tulips in one location! Adam and I are planning a second trip, seeing as the rain prevented us from seeing more. I took so many pictures. Here's a few of them:

After just this one day with all these tulips, guess what this girl is buying come this fall? You guessed it, TULIP BULBS! I want an area filled with tulips! The first on my list is the deep purple tulips. This place was so packed with tulips. I can't wait for us to go check out some more places. Nolan really enjoyed running around in the grassy areas. He did slip and fall in the mud at one point, which was not a highlight of the trip.
