Texas bluebonnets









Every year in March, a beautiful thing happens in Texas. Bluebonnets and other wildflowers grow all over the highway. It was from an initiative by Lady Bird Johnson to beautify Texas highways, and it worked! Texans from all over pilgrimage to roadsides everywhere to take pictures in the bluebonnets.

I wasn't sure what to have the kids wear. Several friends recommended solid colors, but we have a paucity of solids in our wardrobes. I had to improvise. Big Brother is wearing his E=mc2 shirt inside-out, and Little Brother is wearing an Eldora Ski Resort shirt on backwards. This is why I included the last picture - you can see the logo that is supposed to be on LBs chest!

I love the bluebonnet pictures and have looked at them about 50 times! I think my favorite is the one with Amy and Big Brother joyously high stepping through the flowers, with Little Brother's reversed shirt in view.
