Pella Tulip Festival

Last Thursday we ventured to Pella to attend the Tulip Festival. It was about an hour drive and we convinced Gentrys to go with us. The drive there wasn't bad, but when we got there the kids were hungry and ready to move around. Of course the weather didn't really cooperate. We no sooner got there, walked around a little, and sat down to eat some BBQ, then the skies open up and dumped on us! Luckily we had umbrellas and spread them over the kids and strollers. The storm quickly passed, and we had a pretty good time walking around and checking out the sites.

The town is gorgeous and is really proud of its Dutch heritage. Unfortunately we couldn't find tulips to buy, or or store that was open to buy bulbs, so we settled on buying dutch letters (yummy pastry) and just walking around. The kids burned out about 8 oclock and we headed home!
