Marching in Zeeland

Creekside 6th grade first parade!

We look to be in step.

Playing the Star Spangled Banner from memory.

Hey I see my dad taking photos!

Everyone has on the right uniform :)

The girls look a little taller than the boys.

How many more blocks?

See you at the Tulip parade next year!

Just keeping an eye on the band!

Today Shaun marched in the Memorial Day Parade in Zeeland. It was chilly this morning but turned into a nice day. There were a lot of veterans from every war marching today. I worry about our people at war today and hope they come home safe. I am thankful that they were and are willing to give their lives to keep us free.

Shaun did a fantastic job marching and they sounded great playing the Star Spangled Banner. They memorized it and worked very hard preparing for the parade. I was very proud of him today.

Sunset in Grand Haven

Shaun and I went to the beach in Grand Haven a couple of weeks ago. It was still cold but I wanted to try out my new camera. It was quite dark when we were on the beach but the pictures turned out cool. I can’t wait until we are at the lake at sunset and out by the lighthouse. I am also looking forward to many great pictures when we travel out west in a few weeks.

Tip Toe Through the Tulips

Shaun won 3 times at this game.

A cute Dutch boy!

I did not really want a picture.

Dancing with wooden shoes.

A few prizes!

Shaun and I went down to Tulip Time last Saturday. We checked out the craft stuff in the park and saw the clompin’ dancers. Shaun wanted to ride the rides by the old civic center so we went down to check it out. Shaun got an armband to ride all the rides and I went on the Ferris wheel with him. It was warm when we left the house and cold in Holland.
We hung out and played games and ate. What is Tulip Time without Elepant Ears? Shaun won 3 stuffed animals and I won one. I was fun but cold. I took some cool pics and they are posted under Tulip Time.

Flowers without Snow!

Here are some flowers without the snow. The first daffodils got frozen but the next batches were very nice. My tulips looked like I sprayed roundup on them. Maybe next year they will blossom. I will post Tulip Time pics soon.
