More Surprises!

Friday's surprise was a trip to Dallas Blooms with Mimi. The flowers were amazing this year and they have these cute Storybook houses set up all over the arboretum for the kids to walk through or just hang out in. Each house is based on a famous storybook. It was lots of fun to tour these houses as well as see all the beautiful blooming flowers. It made me antsy to go out and buy flowers for our flower beds. I think our favorite houses were Alice in Wonderland, The Jolly Roger and The Lorax. Here are a few of my favs from this years trip. Each kid wanted to take some pictures also and I let them. It kept them happier and I got more pictures of them by letting them take some too! This one Bailey took right at the end of our trip. These tulips were so bright and beautiful.


This was Jack's favorite he took. He has always liked cactus. I love bluebonnets. He did a really good job.






This walking away pose was Bailey's idea. Just wish there were more flowers in this section.





This believe it or not, was Connor's picture! He needed my help only to find where to push the button!











I like this one the best, I loved the orange tulips, they were spectacular.








Bailey took this one too. I think my kids might be good photographers!








And yes, Connor is bald! You would think after so many boys haircuts that I would know not to ask for a 1 1/2 and 2 inch blade at this time of year. She actually only used the 1 1/2 and it is short!
All in all it was a nice relaxing Spring Break! Now we jump into the rest of school. It is so busy from now on, it was nice to rest a little this week.
