Fun in Pella

While my parents were here for Treys blessing
we ventured over to Pella, Iowa. It is such a cute
little town and we really had a fun time enjoying pastries,
learning about and touring the windmill, and shopping
in the cute little dutch shops that line the brick streets
of down town Pella!



Grandma Rosie and Addie
Addie was absolutely enthralled with this
clock that chimed and played music every
other hour along with figurines that would
come out and dance to the tune. I have never
seen her sit so still for so long so i took lots
of pictures of addie still.




And of course Trey boy was just a little happy
camper the whole time!


Some good stuff in this place
we kept going back for more!


Just a cute water mill
and Addie and I.

Dutch Shoes
Grandpa Dave doing what he does best....
sharing "sweets" with the grand kids!
The pastries were really good.

My Favorite candid shot during the trip!

This is actually a functioning Windmill
they grind flour in it everyday except Tuesdays...
the day we just happened to be there. But it was still
fun to go up to the top and see the grinding mill and
learn about the unique qualities of a windmill.
If you have a saturday or any day with nothing to do
i recommend heading out to Pella it is only an
hour away and well worth it!
