Bluebonnets 2012

I'm really excited to finally have some good bluebonnet pictures!  The first year the flowers were so trampled by the time we went and then it started raining 5 minutes after we started taking pictures.  Last year there were hardly any flowers but this year so many beautiful areas!!  I am eternally grateful to the lady at the gatehouse who told Cole there was a playground in the park because he cooperated and posed for us so he could go play afterwards:)  The only thing I would change is going earlier or later in the day so it wouldn't be so bright and we could get some pictures sans sunglasses even though he is one cool cat with them!

Country Day

Now that the weather is nicer, we have been living outside.  Well, we eat and sleep inside, much to someones dismay but most of the rest of the time we are in the backyard, front yard, park, on a walk, on our bike, or in the country.  Like I said before, we like to see and feed cows when we are in the country just from a distance so these close encounters are little scary!  This time we also brought a kite with us and the boy got to fly a kite for the first time.  The wind was perfect (not puny and not too strong either) and he really did a good job holding on (we were afraid he was going to let go and it was going to "end up in the next county" as Pop-pa put it!).  I think we'll need to buy another one for someone else before our next trip:)  What better way to end a fun morning than with lunch and a popsicle at Dairy Queen?!
