The Haining Family in Pella






We were privileged to have the Haining family visit in our home prior to their music performance.  Since they had a few hours to see the area, we took them to one of our favorite towns Pella, Iowa. They saw the canal and huge Ver Meer Windmill. They sat on the steps of the Tulip Torem. They wondered through the Scholte gardens and visited the Scolte mansion. We even had Dutch letters for desert. 



Top row in the photo of the Haining Family Singers are Peggy, Mike and Ruth. Second row is James, and Grace. Pearl is sitting on the steps of the Tulip Torem on the bottom step.





Wouldn’t it be great if their travel schedule of “ Front Porch” songs could include Pella Tulip time so they could see the Dutch dancers and street cleaners by the Tulip Torem? Perhaps the weather at Tulip Time will allow them to see the tulips in the Scholte gardens. I think that they would like the evening parade with it’s      many floats but anytime is a good time to visit with this family and to visit Pella.
