Tulip Time

Ever since our first visit to Pella Iowa, 

I have hoped to one day visit while they 

celebrated Tulip Time.

This weekend we were smack dab in the middle of it all !  

sweeping the streets before the parade

I think Pella is an adorable little village any way...

with it's European flair...

but at Tulip Time...it comes alive !!

Folks dressed up in their Dutch attire, there was authentic food, Dutch dancing

and a parade !

 The vendors were wonderful.  My body is paying for all the food I ate, 

but it sure was worth it, when I was piling it in ! :)

I do want to note, that we didn't get to stop by the Dutch Market to 

purchase donut holes....like we have in the past.

I'm pretty sure the weekend was a little incomplete with out them.
