Tulip Time '11...Part 1


Tonight we went downtown Holland for Tulip Time.
We started off our evening...where else?
The food venders!
Who can resist all that greasey festival food?!?
I even heard one lady on the sidewalk say, "Well there goes my diet for this week!"
Here's Nate enjoying our funnel cake together.

Funnel cakes are one thing we can all agree on and enjoy.
Here's Ev enjoying his portion.
Evan was eyeing the deep fried pickles and steak sandwiches.
Nate was just dying for something to drink.
I had my eyes on corndogs, onion rings, fries, and cotton candy, LOL!
(We didn't get all that...we just enjoying "sniffing" it all!  We just got our funnel cake and took a bag of cotton candy home.)
Sometimes I think this is what heaven must smell like!

After stopping off at the "Sandcastle" toy shop for a bit, we went down to Centennial Park.
We walked around for a bit and looked at the tulips and Nate did a little pose for me in the street scrubbing girl's outfit, LOL!
My little "Natina".  Hehe!

The boys always give in and let me snap a few pics every year.
They are so nice to humor me.

Me and my babies.
I'm glad they'll still hang out with me every once in a while.
(As long as there's food involved I can usually bribe them, LOL!)

They both decided to get a little silly and pose in the Dutch Dancer frames.

A couple little ducks stopped by the fish pond for a swim.
In all the years we've gone to Centennial Park, I don't think I've ever seen a duck in there!
About 15 minutes before they were supposed to begin, they cancelled the Dutch Dancing for tonight (bummer!) due to severe weather.
It started raining just a bit, which is permitted, but once the lightening started, they had to call it quits.
We were bummed but we had a fun night out anyway and are looking forward to the three parades later in the week.
Evan will be marching with the band.
We are just praying for good weather!
Happy Tulip Time!
