bluebonnets! eh...

Every year Betsy and I take a short day-trip up to Brenham to take the official bluebonnet picture for the year. We typically go to the same field and it's just FULL of bluebonnets. We had even heard this year that people were skipping the bluebonnets this year because there were so many rattlesnakes hiding in the. Yeah, it would be a REALLY tiny snake to hide in these bluebonnets. LAME! To get over our overall high level of pissiness in having wasted half a day coming to Brenham, we contemplated just taking pictures in the big pile of dead weeds that was evidently what was left of this years bluebonnets. We decided to go drown our wasted road-tip in food and ice cream instead! The BlueBell creamery is now open on Saturdays and they have scoops for $1~ Yum! Emmy ate hers and then mooched off everyone else. At the creamery, we got the inside scoop on a patch of bluebonnets that you could at least fake a picture in. We got excited that maybe the day was saved! eh...Here's Emmy and Caroline saying "Where are the bluebonnets?"

Even these were kind of (ok totally) lame and REALLY itchy. Paired with a gigantic wind and tired and post ice-cream rush little girls, it was a short bluebonnet session. We managed to snag a few.

The best ones they got were of them togehter. While the adults were a little, uh, grouchy, the girls had a GREAT time! At least we have pictures, right?
