Tulip Festival fun begins

Yesterday we had another busy day. First we cleaned, then the kids played outside with two neighbor girls and two children visiting their grandparents across the street for Tulip Festival. Bob came home and we had lunch together, intending to go into town for an after lunch treat. That was not to be. David needed a nap, though, so David and Bob stayed home while the girls and I headed into town with some friends to see the first of six Tulip Festival parades. When we got home I was exhausted. I prepared for dinner and then took a rest. Not long after I got up Mom and Dad Winn (Oma and Grandad) arrived and we sat down to a dinner of homemade chicken soup, fresh baked bread, and salad. To finish off the evening Bob made a fire in our new fire pit and we toasted marshmallows and made s'mores. Smoky, sticky, yummy fun.
