Tulip Time 2009

My two goofballs
David and Abbie kept the WHOLE crowd across the street (see E's pic for the crowd - more expensive bleacher seats) amused before the parade started. We received many scowls for not controlling our children, but also quite a few laughs and even people walking up afterwards and thanking us for the best pre-show ever! :)
Cooling her toes in the water
Watching the parade
Sweet boy!
Future senior picture pose?
Jill and I both had the blessing of attending college in this quaint Dutch town and love going back each year and reminiscing about the college days!
David and Abbie playing under our shelter while it rained for 20 minutes and we ate lunch!
Love this pic - go daddy
Don't let the outfit fool you, she is pure spunk!
Getting so big
Smiling at last!
If only they would both look at the same time.
Another wonderful year at Tulip Time in Pella.
I think we have been 9 out of the last 10 years.
You can't beat yummy food, parades, tractor rides, windmills, memories with family, beautiful tulips, and seeing old friends!

Our children, out of control? No way! I had so much fun. Sometime, we should go on a Friday and get a hotel. The kids would have a blast swimming together.

Those are great pics- love the ones in the middle where you played with the color.
