Gone to Holland

Today we went as a family to Holland, Michigan.  It was so fun to see all of the beautiful tulips that lined the roads as we drove into town.  We then quickly found a beautiful park and enjoyed watching some dancers practice some traditional dances for the weekends festivities.  I of course had to take millions of pictures {mostly of Elizabeth} and here are a few from the day.

Elizabeth loved watching the people that were watching, waving, and even taking pictures of her.  She's my little social girl, that loves having everyone's attention on her.  Makes it hard to get her to look at the camera though.

Elizabeth is using Brian as a stabilizer as she works on standing.  She just can't wait to walk.

I am so glad that we were able to find someone to get a picture of all of us together in this beautiful park.  I love the vibrant colors of the tulips!  This shot actually reminds me of Brian and my engagement picture.

We accidentally stumbled upon a small college that was just down the street.  I got so excited I loved the buildings and had to take pictures!  Elizabeth fell over while sitting in front of one, and I thought her feet were so adorable!  I think Hope College looks like a nice school to go to.

We then made our way to see this windmill.  It is so big, and neat!  We got to go inside for a tour.  This is the only windmill of it's kind in the US.  They had actually moved this here from Holland.  It went through WWII  and has a bullet hole from that time.

After getting our fill of the gorgeous tulips we made our way to a nearby beach for a nice evening walk.  It was fun to see how much Elizabeth loved the wind {it was extremely windy!}.
