Bluebonnets 2013

Bluebonnets are a Texas tradition.  This year we decided to check out a state park to see if we could get lucky and find some great spots.  Luckily there were tons of flowers around, bluebonnets included, but by far the best part according to the girls were the ladybugs.  They (the ladybugs) were everywhere.  Who knew that they loved bluebonnets so much??  At one point we were walking through the flowers (being very careful not to step on any bluebonnets) and I noticed that Camryn had her hands closed as though she were holding something.  I asked her what she had and she turned slowly and gave me a little smirk, then opened her hand - out crawled 6 ladybugs!  She was holding onto them for later.  Sweet bug loving girls.

Can't forget the roly-polies

I never noticed the star pattern (when viewed from above)

Letting them all escape...I love the flying one at the top right
