Cute! Is this in Pella? We used to live in Cedar Rapids and would drive down every Spring to see the tulips.

Great that you're back in Iowa. Hope you enjoyed the Tulips!

No, it's not Pella, but I did see the Pella tulip court on a float in the parade yesterday.

The tulips, by the way, are perfect this year. Still nothing like walking through the actual tulip fields in Holland though.

that´s so cool: I find it funny to see that Dutch Americans are more enthusiastic about these traditional Dutch things than the Dutch in Holland themselves! I would love to go to the American Tulip Festivals sometime. I´d put on my traditional Dutch outfit and represent Overijssel (my province), or something :-)

Hi Eva! Do you actually have a traditional Dutch outfit?

Yes, I do. The whole deal. My grandma got it for me. It is terribly unflattering, but I wore it several times to the annual International Festival at my university.

So awesome! Our neighbors have a Pella connection (I know this isn't Pella) and I'm anxious to go to the Tulip Festival next year. I think when people are far from their roots it makes them be a bit more gung-ho.
