Abby thought they were beautiful!
Tori had to keep reminding herself not to pick the flowers, a trait she is well know for!
This was an old cannon was fun to climb on for the kids and good time waster until the parade started!
This little boy was in Jaasma's Bakery, the best bakery in town, as demonstrated by the long line, but well worth the wait.
Ah the joy the wait...a dutch letter, if you like pastry and almond this is the perfect treat for you...the girls were quite happy with their treat.
More tulips and Abby
The crowning of the Queen of Pella time, Abby thought this was awesome!
Before the parade stated, there was a large cleaning of the streets, they dumped water and and swept all along the street in their true dutch gear!
The tractors, my favorite part...so here was my thought as they were having the tractor parade...so when people get older, we don't give them licences any longer and are concerned about them driving in traffic, however we put a large number of older men on tractors and send them to drive through streets with crowds of people around them...makes you say hum!
There were a large number of floats and the parade took about 1.5 hours to complete, this was just one of the fun things that came down the street.
The girls and I took a tour of the old firehouse and jail while Grandma stopped in the quilt store
The next day we did some touring in the morning and the girls to play, here Abby put the pails on to carry the water to clean the streets.
The girls posing as some traditional dutch people...
This is the great grand nephew of Wyatt Erp? He was sitting in the one the rooms of this old house.
This machine was amazing, it is a koliapie and it plays music based upon books of music, it was one of my favorite things to listen to!
I think we wore the girls out based upon that sleeping little girl in the back seat, thanks Grandma for coming with us!
