Bluebonnets

Spring in South Texas is pretty awesome. The roads are lined with wildflowers most of which is the state flower: Bluebonnets (not to be confused with bluebells a different flower or delicious Texas made ice cream)

One of these years I'll get some professional family pictures taken in them, for now we'll just use my point and shoot. Many people literally pull over on the freeway, but there are a couple more secluded fields that are slightly less dangerous.  We happened to be doing the kids club craft at Home Depot and walked to the flowers in the neighboring lot.

The girls loved picking and smelling them.  And I actually caught Kelsey with a smile :) Even if its a strained "cheese!" smile. I'll take it! I wish they'd stick around longer.
