"Tulip Days"

Tuesday afternoon, the girls and I packed up and headed to Holland. First we stopped in for Kelsey's doctor's appointment. She has had swollen tonsils for two months and has trouble swallowing food, but other than that is not affected by it. We're going to try to give Motrin for twice a day for a week and see if that helps, if not she's being referred to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. We then headed downtown and ate Subs 'n More outside with Brenda and dad. It was so nice out and enjoyed walking around downtown, getting pictures taken by tulips before it was time for Bren and Sis to Dutch Dance. After Dutch Dancing, we people watched as we all split an elephant ear. We spent the night at Brenda's, which is always a treat.

The rain moved out just in time for Wednesday's parade. Brenda set out chairs for us at 6:30am so we had great seats. Both girls really enjoyed the parade, even more than last year. Macey kept calling it "Tulip Days" and was sad to leave Holland after the parade.

Here's a bunch of pictures from our Tulip Days this year. They are backwards in order, but I don't have time to reverse them, I have to get the girls ready for their first real babysitter experience. Jason and I are heading out for Mexican with Mark, Carol, Elizabeth and Darrin! YUM.

ps. The girls wore their wooden shoes from Bumpa for two days straight and still beg to wear them. They probably put in a good 3 miles in them!
