Dallas Blooms


This morning, we went to the Dallas Arboretum to take a look at the beautiful flowers out for Dallas Blooms. It was a gorgeous day (if a little chilly at first), and the boys had so much fun just running around.


The boys had really enjoyed the "Storybook Houses" exhibit from last spring, so they were a bit disappointed to note that all the houses were gone. However, one new Storybook character greeted visitors in full, living color: Ferdinand!


I used to make my parents read this book to me repeatedly when I was a little girl, and I just re-introduced it to the boys a few weeks ago. So it was so neat to see Ferdinand himself, "sitting just quietly, smelling the flowers."

It was a great morning, and we hope to go back again soon!
