Woodburn Tulip Festival 2010

This year is an extra-big celebration because it’s the 25th anniversary of the festival.

Girls and fish and flies

Excellent day

“I hate hiking! I don’t want to go! You guys always make me do this stuff and I hate it so much!”

Wind in the Gorge, Obama, and braces

Because the sun was brilliant, or maybe because we were out in the gorgeous gorge, we made a day of it.
