Because They're Dutch

Apparently, if you're Dutch, it's a tradition to don a Dutch costume and get your picture taken with the tulips.

See?

(Cute, right?)

I know nothing of this tradition.

I'm not Dutch.

Not one itty-bitty teeny-tiny bit. None. Nope. Nada.

And much to Brad's chagrin, our boys aren't 100% Dutch either.

(But he married me anyway, right? That's all that really matters.) :)

But the boys are kinda Dutch :) so while they were in Pella with Grandma and Grandpa this last weekend, it was their turn to partake in this special tradition.

I'd say they fit in quite well.
