Texas Bluebonnets

 

Idyllic, beautiful, and quite a floral trademark: bluebonnets are loved by Texans, but are appreciated and adored by many. Recently my husband spotted a field (not on the side of the highway!) not too far from home. And since his mother was visiting from New Jersey and mentioned wanting some pics with the kiddos in the bluebonnets, it was just the right time for a photo shoot!

 

 

We were the only ones in this particular field one afternoon, which gave the kids a great chance to run and play in the vast expanse of these bright spring bloomers.

 

They had a blast, and I think we got some keepers, especially the lovely ones with Grandma Ruth.

 

 

 

 

 

I love to watch the kids together; they are so sweet and affectionate most of the time. I love that they make each other laugh so much!

 

What a fun, fun afternoon.

 

 

We love bubbles around here! Last week we had such beautiful days (it got up to 84!), so the kiddos, George’s mom and I made our way down to “swing-slide-swing” as the kids call it. I planted some plants while the kids played pirates on the slides and “ship”.

 

 

George's mom Ruth was playing "guess the letter" as she drew a letter on Finley's back. And Grey noticed some small planes flying above.

 

 

Then it was time for bubbles. There were some empty bubbles and wands, and a large container about ¼ full of bubbles, and a battery-operated bubble wand that you dip in a dish filled with bubbles. I wasn’t even sure if the little wand would work; it hadn’t been touched for months. But alas, it had power, and we put it to good use.

 

 

 

 

Grey made some gigantic bubbles. We were amazed as was he. It was lovely. They even managed to take turns. Ha! Fin made bubble magic too.

 

 

Of course they wanted to stay out and make bubbles all day!
