The Parade!

Jacob with our friend Andrea sitting on the sidewalk waiting for the afternoon Tulip Time parade - Jacob's first one.
This is the view of the street from where we were sitting. Just in front of the buildings they set up grandstands for people to buy tickets and sit there - they do some special performances and dutch dancing and different things before the parade. We'll do that when Jacob is a little older.

Above is Jacob wearing his oldest cousin Noah's new shades. Too Cool :)
Above is Jonah helping to carry the sign for the start of the elem. school parade. All the kids in town get out of school half days on Thursday and Friday and they have to walk with their classes in the parades.
Jonah is giving us all the cool guy wave with his new shades on! Below are Amy and Micah. This was Amy's first year ever wearing a Dutch costume (she also says it is her last - ha ha ha!). She walked with Micah's kindergarten class.
Below is Elijah waving to us! And since Noah is in 7th grade he is all done marching in the parade so he was sitting with us video taping his family walking. He was glad to be on the sidelines this year.
