Tulip Time 1987

This is one of my favorite Tulip Time pictures!  I have been putting together a simple album featuring the yearly Tulip Time picture with the nieces & nephews.  This is one of the earliest ones I have right now but I hadn't looked at them in years!  This picture was taken during my very first year dancing during the yearly Tulip Time Festival.  My (future) sister-in-law is on the far end and my sister standing next to her are also dancers.  This would have been their last year dancing since they were both seniors.  My oldest sister is wearing her costume as well but might have been in the alumni dancers.  I am in the center holding my oldest niece.  She was about 18 months old at the time.  My mother made all the adult costumes.  I am not sure if it was my sister or my mom who made the little dress which was made to match my sister's costume.

Tulip Time Picture

This is a picture that was in my dad's photos.  It is a picture of my Aunt Barb and my older sister Deb.  This would have been May 1964.  My sister is probably wearing the same dress that our mother wore when she was about the same age.  Then our grandmother gave this dress to Deb and she had her daughters wear it for pictures.  My daughter did also but she was a little big for it.


I love that we found this picture, to close that one generation gap!
