Yesterday morning we packed the kids in the car and headed south-east to the Dutch town of Pella. Every year, on the weekend before Mother's Day, the city puts on a Tulip Festival, complete with thousands of flowers, parades, and Dutch food. We decided to pass on the festival (and the crowds) this year, but thought it would make for a fun Mother's day drive to head out there before church. The flowers were gorgeous, and we even found a fun park where the kids could play. It was a beautiful morning.

| Remember these old-school slides that burn your leg when the temperature creeps up in the heat of summer? Luckily yesterday it was a brisk 55 degrees in the morning. |

| Maddie took this picture---not too shabby for a two-year-old, eh? |

| Ike's favorite flowers. |

| Ryan took a picture with me and each child in front of their favorite tulips. Maddie is partial to the color purple as of late. |
 |
| I loved the big orange ones. |

| The tire swing was the hit of the park. |

| My daredevil little boy. A couple of days ago he ran right off the apparatus at the playground, tumbling five feet to the ground. One of my scariest moments as a mother. Luckily I was the only one hurt by that fall. |
