Bluebonnets

I am sad to say that I have never taken my kids picture with our beloved state flower.  Unless, you drive two hours away to Brenham, most of the bluebonnets you find are on the side of the highway, which is too dangerous! Last year, I heard of a field of bluebonnets about 10 minutes from our house.  By the time our hectic schedule allowed us to go down there, they were all gone (thanks to lack of rain).  This year, with plenty of rain, the bluebonnets have come out in full force and have stayed a long time.  Yesterday, we loaded up and headed down to take pictures.  Brinley first gave Clayton a quick lesson, "You can't pick these flowers or you will get in trouble"...she learned that at school :-) The sun was bright and in our eyes most of the time, but we got some great pictures!
