Tulip Time

This week our annual tulip festival is going on so I decided to take the boys to learn about our dutch heritage. We went last year to and had a great time but seems like you can always learn something new. The boys really enjoyed it and learned a great deal to. Here they are in the old dutch pioneer house dressed in dutch costumes. Aren't they cute!
A picture of myself and the boys don't get enough of those.
The senior dutch dancers doing a dance. They even taught the crowd a dutch dance and we got to perform it with them in the square. The boys did it for Ben after dinner that night.
Here we stopped and learned about wooden shoes. They show you how they are made and you can try them on. Roman tried convincing me he needed a pair:) He didn't get them.
Here were some ducklings floating in a pond they were so adorable we fed them pb&j sandwiches from our lunch. They were so fun to watch they entertained us while we ate.
Kaleb driving his horse and buggy he thought it would be great fun to own one of these.
Little Roman on the way home all worn out he crashed almost immediately.

Looks like fun.
We took the kid to kinderplaats on Saturday but the rain came and we bolted out of there. We were going to try the parade today but again the rain prevented that. So maybe tomorrow.
