The VanderDowells

Determined not to let extreme sleep deprivation get the best of us, we headed to Pella for Tulip Time.  Darrin took the afternoon off, we had a picnic lunch on the parade route and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Then we had time to walk around town eating yummy treats and sniffing beautiful tulips. If you can handle the sugar, I highly recommend the Goodest Cupcakes.  There was more frosting than cake.  Madeline and I found it to be absolutely heavenly.  And, of course, I stood in line for some Dutch letters and cinnamon bread from Jaarsma. 

The fresh air must of been good for everyone.  Audrey gave us a good night's rest after our outing!  (Still up twice to eat, but went back to sleep easily both times!)
