Tulip Time

It is Tulip Time in Holland and the Tulips are beautiful this year. The cold weather late into April has made it so the Tulips are perfect for the festival. Mommy has been home the last two day and we have gone to lots of Tulip Time events. Yesterday, morning we had to go the hospital for me to get my blood drawn. I was so brave, I didn't cry one bit. After that we went downtown to look at the tulips and we got caught in a rain storm. We all got wet running to the Civic Center. I stayed the driest in jogger with lots of blankets wrapped around me. We looked at lot of delft and I got to watch a man making some fudge. Then Mommy and I sent Daddy for the car and we waited for him to come and pick us up. I ate a good lunch and took a long sleep. I got up just in time to run to the parade where I saw lots of floats and bands. I even got to see Daddy's cousin Scott walking with his band. He waved and said "Hi Parker" I directed his band for him. because I love music so much.
After supper Grandma came out and we all went down to Centennial Park to take pictures and watch the Dutch Dances. I was all dressed up in my little Dutch boy costume for Great Aunt Marcia. I looked very handsome, a lot of high school girls were smiling and waving at me. I smiled my coy smile back at them.

This morning after breakfast we all went Veldheer Tulip Farm. We walked and saw lots of tulips I didn't know they had that many different kinds. Mommy and Daddy took more pictures of me. But I have come down with a little cold on top of my getting new teeth. Mommy found her favorite Tulip Time poster and she bought it so that it can hang in our new house when we move. After that we went back downtown so Daddy could get his fat ball. He said that it was very good, Mommy tried a tiny bite and thought it was icky. I fell asleep before we got home.


More later so stay tuned. . .
