Tulip Time!

This past weekend we travelled to Des Moines to see Grandma.  We spent Friday and Saturday in Pella, where Cate's great-grandmothers live.  This weekend was Tulip Time, a celebration of Dutch culture and history and the whole town was decked out for the occasion.  On Friday we saw a parade with all kinds of traditional costumes and people pushing carts representing the trades that they or their ancestors practiced.  We would have taken pictures of the parade, but it was so hot that afternoon that we were more concerned with slathering Cate with sunscreen!  On Saturday the weather was much more comfortable, so we strolled around the town, took tons of pictures with the tulips, took Cate to the park and shopped a little bit at the outdoor market.  Cate had a great time seeing everybody.  Here are just a few of the million pictures that Tim took!
