Last week, our city celebrated it's annual Tulip Time Festival. At one time, I believe Tulip time was the 3rd largest flower festival in the Nation. Hundreds of thousands of Tulips bloom down 16 miles of city streets, while clusters can be found in all the area parks, and attractions. This year was especially beautiful because all the trees bloomed at the same time since our spring has been delayed.
The Klompen Dancers dance each evening, and there is wonderful fatty foods available everywhere down town :) Because of the traffic, most locals are annoyed that most roads are blocked off and pedestrian tourists cross roads anywhere and everywhere. I think many forget to be appreciative... This is a great opportunity to boost West Michigan's economy and attract people to Holland.
I was a dancer as well, so I had to come into town each night. For my boys, we dressed them up (a week later) and went to get photos in the park. All the hustle and bustle is done and we had the park to ourselves ;) Worked well, since they are terribly antsy, and strong willed to run in any direction AWAY from the camera... oh well, here are a few fun shots of my 2 little dutch boys :)
