"I'm EXHAUSTED!"

Emmy at the Dutch Dancing Expo

Amy's parents and grandmother are in town this week for a visit and to check out Tulip Time here in Holland. Tulip Time is an annual festival celebrating the Dutch heritage in Holland and of course, the TULIPS! Emmy has loved having the company around and also having a chance to tag along to many of the Tulip Time activities.

First on Thursday, we took Grandma for a tour around Hope's campus because she has never been to see where Bill and Amy went to college and now work. Emmy of course helped give the tour too and showed Grandma all of her stomping grounds! Then Thursday night we brought Emmy to check out the Dutch Dancing expo in Centennial Park (in downtown Holland). Dutch dancers from all of the local high schools circle the park (which is about 2 blocks long and 1 block wide) for a huge expo. We brought Emmy and she handled not only the crowds (and lots of other dogs) but also the dancing (those wooden shoes are quiet loud on the pavement) very well! Now she's EXHAUSTED! We'll keep you updated with more Tulip Time adventures (we're going to her first parade on Saturday)!
