Blue Bonnets

They are the Texas State flower, grow wild in the fields, and are gorgeous. I decided we had to make it a tradition to get blue bonnet pictures every year. This year we went all out and drove all the way down to Ennis (a little over an hour...if you aren't stopping for potty breaks, but that is a whole nother blog post) for their Blue Bonnet festival where they map out a route for you to drive to see some great areas. This is how we spent our Saturday. I came to the conclusion we will use our "local bluebonnet locations" for upcoming years, at least until we have children who will actually LOOK AT THE CAMERA. :) Anyway, enjoy what we got. We loved family time and getting out to enjoy the beautiful scenery.


We went to the festival/fair to start off our morning and get the map for our drive.


Lorelei loved the flowers and was so excited to walk out in them. She also loved getting a chance to see cows and horses up close as there was a lady who made sure to feed them so that the visitors had a chance to pull over and enjoy them on their drive.

And here is the one who would not cooperate for anything. He was way too intent at checking out the flowers around him and would not look at the camera for us.

















Our attempts at our first year of a picture of the two kids in the bluebonnets.



At least Brad cooperates for pictures with me... ;)


And someone was nice enough to take a family pic...I know the shadows are not good, but still love it.
