Bluebonnets 2010

Well, it's that time of year again...Bluebonnet pictures!! I love seeing these beautiful wildflowers, the State Flower of Texas, blooming all over the sides of the roads and in parks around here. There is a relatively new park in the Woodlands, called Creekside Park, that planted Bluebonnets when it was being developed. I think it was a great idea and it has made for a wonderful place to take pictures of the kiddos without worrying about being hit on the side of a freeway! After you're done with acting as Mommy Paparazzi you can enjoy a picnic and let your little ones play on the playground or run around in the open grassy field. I'm a big fan of this park :)

So, today I took Taylor and Jacob to the park and we had a really great time. The weather was wonderful. Slightly overcast most of the day. (Which would have been great for pictures with no shadows but it was pretty sunny during the 20 minutes we were in the flowers so it didn't help me much.) We did have to watch for bees but they really only wanted the flowers, not us. I fished about 4 flowers out of Jacob's mouth throughout our session, hoping that they weren't poisonous. Afterwards, we ate and then played. The kids were in a really good mood the whole time! Usually we go with a big group of our friends to take these pictures but today it was just the three of us. And while I love the social aspect of an outing with friends, I must say that it was a very relaxed, enjoyable time that I was blessed to have with my kiddos.

Here are some pictures from today along with a few from previous years.
