Spring has Sprung

Earlier this week, we took Aunt Emilie to the Arboretum to see the Dallas Blooms before she went home to Connecticut. Despite it being a little bit chilly and windy, we had a nice afternoon and enjoyed all the beautiful tulips and azaleas.

I just love this shot of Em and the boys. They could not get enough of her, and she was always so patient with them. (And Lucas kept demanding I go back to her picture while I was uploading this, so he could keep looking at her!)


Once again, the house on stilts (what Cody calls the "treehouse") as part of the Little House on the Prairie storybook playhouse display was the biggest hit.


Jacks had a VERY lucky day when this beautiful ladybug landed on him.


Here's the Eragon playhouse, which we think looks like a giant porcupine more than a Dragon, but whatever.


Despite it being a little cold, Cody still loved the water.


Jacks checked out the Hansel and Gretel cottage.


And one more of Emilie and me, in the same spot where we had a picture taken together 4 years ago when she came to visit (I'll have to try to find that one).


We also found some bluebonnets that same morning, to give Em a final taste of Texas. They aren't in full bloom yet and it was windy as all get-out, but we still had a nice time!
