This year we broke with tradition and went to Tulip Time with my dad instead of my mom. My mom was enjoying some time with her sisters who were all together for a couple of days. It took a little convincing to entice my dad to join us - his only experiences of Tulip Time had been on busy Saturdays. After assuring him that a weekday was far less busy and having Hannah call to say she really wanted him to come, he agreed. Actually, after Hannah called and asked him to come along he didn't really need much convincing. Hannah knows how to work her papa. :-)
The weather was a bit chilly, but we still had loads of fun. The tulips were beautiful, as usual. We enjoyed watching Dutch dancing, riding on the ferris wheel, shopping at the Dutch market, and eating yummy foods. While we were watching some children dance we saw my mom and her sisters who had come to watch my cousin's son dance. I was excited to see my aunts from California and Thailand, who I haven't seen in awhile. My mom was so surprised to see us. Maybe we didn't really break with tradition since my mom was at Tulip Time after all.
