Spring is here and that means that it's wildflower season. For us down here in Texas that also means taking pictures of your kids in the bluebonnets. (For non-Texans - bluebonnets are our state flower and it grows predominately on the side of the roads. Yup - we trek our families out in the exhaust fumes and bugs to take pictures with these pretty blue flowers. We have too.....it's in our blood.) The flowers haven't been that great in recent years and I just never got around to trying to get pictures with the boys before but this year I just HAD to have some bluebonnet pictures. Needless to say, I still don't have a good one.
There is a great big patch of bluebonnets in an empty lot of our neighborhood so we decided to try there first - less traffic. After the first shot......ants!
Daddy swooped in to check out the situation and didn't find any ants. Thinking Alex was maybe a faker (he is a little bit of a drama queen) and just had weeds and flowers poking him, daddy joined in for a picture.
Then he too started getting chomped on by ants and decided to high-tail it out of there before I could get any good pictures.
At this point we gave up and went to lunch. Once we had full tummy's and were on our way home the boys decided they wanted to give it another shot, as long as there were no ants. We found a good spot off the road close to home. Um, this is what we got.
This may be the best of the bunch.
Maybe I can talk the boys into trying once more......

Too funny!!! The ants were just protecting the flowers :-) We haven't taken bluebonnet pics yet this year, but the flowers are amazing!!
