Tulip Time!!!


Yesterday we had to chance to visit another Iowa landmark... Pella. It is a cute little Dutch town and they host an annual festival called Tulip Time. There are typically over 80,000 tulips... but this year just after the trees blossomed and the tulips all bloomed we were hit with a week long freeze and random April blizzard. So there were a few tulip beds with 1 or 2 lone blossoms amidst a huge (sad) green bed.

However they managed to save some of them this year and we ventured out to tiptoe through the tulips. Below are a few of my favorites...

Ellee & her friend Owen

Ellee mostly wanted to eat these ones...
