Tulip Time Fun

Tonight the Beckham/Frego/Kleinheksel clan went downtown to eat Tulip Time junk food (I actually ate something semi-healthy since my last corn dog didn't seem to agree with me too well). We also took pictures of the kids (Sam, Carter, Mya, and Owen) near some pretty yellow tulips and watched the Dutch dancers. It was a good time except I still didn't get an elephant ear...guess we'll have to make another trip back downtown sometime soon! Oh darn!










This past Saturday afternoon, Brian and I took Sam and Carter to Kinderplaatz, a "Dutch" festival for the kids that is part of Tulip Time. This is Sam's favorite thing to do and he had a riot enjoying all the cool activities and opportunities to pet animals and even hold a snake!!! (Mom was not very excited about this...AT ALL!)
We might have momentarily lost track of Sam which made for the longest 5 minutes of my life. Apparently Sam decided to get in line for a blow up slide and in his excitement forgot to tell his parents. After patiently waiting in line and going down the slide, he came running up to me with a big grin on his face. The tears flowing down my cheeks quickly changed his smile into a "oh crap, what did I do now?" look. After that, we held hands the rest of the day. :)
