Tulip Time Part 2

I managed to make it to 4 out of the 6 parades this year. They are all pretty much the same, but I really enjoy parades, so I go to as many as I can. It's really fun to watch it with my nieces because they get very excited, and love the bands.All the school age kids in Pella march in the afternoon parades. Here is Emily (in the blue dress) marching with her class.
This is a brand new variety of tulips that have been very recently developed in the Netherlands. They are HUGE! Apparently they didn't sell them to very many people, and Pella only bought enough for one small bed.
We went to the Saturday night parade, and it was cold! Usually I get my first sunburn of the year during Tulip Time, but this year it was just too cold. Emily and Abby were bundled up in the Burley stroller and weren't cold at all!
