Tulip Time

We had a fun but busy Tulip Time week! The weather forecast did not look good at the beginning of the week but thankfully it rained mostly at night. We were able to go downtown for the parades on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday is when they have street scrubbing before the parade. I took both kids to street scrub and we met up with Tric, Christopher, Jamie, Jacob and Ashlyn. Here is a picture of the kids (minus Andrew) ready to go!
Here is Elyse and Andrew scrubbing the streets.

My mom took our chairs and blankets and saved a spot for us along the parade route. Once we got to her the kids were tired and ready to sit down. So, we sat down with my mom and watched the parade. Jamie, Jacob and Ashlyn sat by us too.

Thursday is the kids parade. This was the first year that Elyse could march in the parade and I volunteered to march with her class. It was a very hot day but the kids did really good. They were so tired by the end of the parade!! Here is Elyse and I waiting for the parade to start.


My dutch dance group opted not to dance this year but a friend of mine needed a sub in her group a couple of nights. So, I volunteered to dance with their group a few times. Jeff took this picture of the kids and I Friday night when we all went downtown and I had to dance.

My friend Melissa met me downtown this past week to take a few pics of the kids in the park with the tulips. Here is my favorite of the 2 kids.
