Tulip Time with My Parents

This weekend Mom and Dad spent the weekend with me in west Michigan for Mother’s Day and Tulip Time.Friday evening after they arrived we went to Holland to watch the Dutch dancers. 700 dancers stetched down 5 or so city block in traditional and authentic Dutch costumes to do their routines. The sound of the many wooden shoes clacking on the street was very unique.On Saturday we toured Veldheer’s tulip farm. See pictures below. My friend Renae was with us as well. We also went through several Dutch shops including a candle shop where they dip the candles in multiple colors and then carve and design the candles. It was very interesting to watch.I hated to see them leave, but since they left their Dutch windmill cookies here, they will have to come back really soon!
