When we missed our opportunity last year due to rain and illness to take the yearly pictures in the bluebonnets, I was determined to make sure it happened this year. As we got out of the car we had the "bluebonnet rules" refresher course, and Lukas made a point of mentioning that he would pick me a yellow flower instead (sweet boy!). We chose a spot near Eric's office. There's several beautiful patches, and we chose a section that had a large hill with a couple large bluebonnet patches. This turned out to be the perfect spot because we were the only ones there, so we were not in anyone's way and the kids could run in the grassy areas. And there were a ton of butterflies, and you can imagine the fun the kids had with that! No one wanted to sit still and pose, so our posed pictures did not turn out as well as our "on the move pictures". Good thing I've learned over the years just to keep snapping to get something good. Here's a sampling of what I caught.
Lukas' Pictures - He's actually so used to bluebonnet pictures that as soon as we got there, he picked out his spot, sat down, and declared himself picture ready. Unfortunately those smiles were not very good. Once he stopped paying attention to me and started looking at the ladybugs, butterflies, and bluebonnets around him his pictures got better.
He has a ladybug on his hand. :) He was SO excited!

Getting all three kids to look decent in one picture is HARD! I took about 10 or more, and maybe have 2 or 3 that are decent. And none that are awesome. Oh well, they're still cute!
The great butterfly hunt. This made me wish we had nets.

This is how Asher felt about the whole thing by the time we left. He was DONE!
