Here comes the parade (Pt 1)

Here are some photos from yesterday's Tulip Time parade.  

He just can't wait for the parade to start.

First, they cleaned the streets.

Creative cleaning

We heard lots of marching bands.

Look at their pom-poms!

I wonder what this car's gas mileage is?

Can you guess who sponsored this float?

(Movies to come tomorrow!)

What time is it?

It's Tulip time in Holland and the downtown area is buzzing with tourists, flowers, and natives in Dutch garb. Here are some photos from the event:

Everyone came out to see the tulips.

Who knew they came in so many colors?

How did this little guy sneak in here?

There were tons of venders selling crafts.  Got a naked garden goose?  You can buy her a new outfit here.

Dozens of people walked around in their klompen.

Only during Tulip Time

An assortment of klompen- aren't they beautiful?
