We made it up to Holland for Tulip Time this year! Since Jason had work and baseball, the girls and I left as soon as Mace got home from school on Tuesday. That night we got to see Sis and Brenda dance around Centennial Park.
We had a chance to see Aunt Carol and Nugget as well :)
After the dancing and chatting with everyone that came to watch,
we hung out at the Herrick Library for awhile. Wow, that library is amazing!
After a decent night's sleep at Brenda's house, we headed downtown for more dancing. Kelsey got in on the action this time!
We had some spare time between the dancing and parade, so we stopped to watch a puppet show/concert. The show was a lot of fun as the kids could participate with the songs. We even got coupons to get free Cold Stone ice cream and won a free CD :)
Then we searched for some Tulips, but could only find a few wilted purple ones, the rest were long gone. Taylie was quite disappointed, can you tell?
Kels didn't mind and wanted her picture taken alone with them
since the other girls weren't too thrilled about it all. This girl truly loves flowers.
Then it was time for some lunch at Sub 'n' More. Yummy!
And of course, Brenda had saved our usual great spot
earlier that day with blankets and chairs at 6am.
During the parade, we enjoyed some elephant ears, cotton candy, and french fries. Gotta love that junk food!
Macey enjoyed everything about the parade and wished it was longer. Kelsey waved the entire time to everything, even things that couldn't wave back. And Taylie slept through most of it :)
We packed things up and headed back to Colon later that day. Even hit a great garage sale on the way home, which is always a treat.
I'm hoping to always give the girls a glimpse of Tulip Time each year, since I've grown up with it and love it so much.
