Bluebonnets

Last weekend we made a sad and unexpected trip back to Mason's hometown to say goodbye to a very dear friend. Nathan was a loud mouth, cocky, has to win every debate kinda guy, but he had a heart of gold and was fiercely loyal to his friends and family.

We will miss you buddy!

As tough as our weekend was, we decided to take lemons and turn them into lemonade... or perhaps grapes into wine!? :) Our drive back home to Dallas takes us right through Ennis - the Bluebonnet Capitol of Texas. We were planning to drive out that way to get some bluebonnet pictures with Hadley anyway, so we figured we'd knock it out as we were passing through. 

We didn't really know where we were heading, but took a few backroads through some beautiful Texas farming plantations and low and behold... we found ourselves on the Bluebonnet Trail!

Then by chance, we also happened upon a private residence, with fields of bluebonnets, that had opened their property up to the public. Cha-ching! Exactly what we were looking for!

Taking your picture with the bluebonnets is a right of passage in Texas! So, of course, if there's a photo shoot to be had, I am ALL OVER IT. :) 

Hadley wasn't really into it at first, however.

But she started to warm up a little once Mommy & Daddy joined in on the fun!

Then she surprised us by standing on her own, for the longest that she's ever stood up without holding onto anything!

Daddy's little bluebell!

After awhile, she was totally comfortable amongst the wild flowers and back to her picture posing ways.

So glad we went on this little backroads bluebonnet journey. A fun experience and hopefully a new tradition begun.

In loving memory of our friend, Nathan Andrew Monk. May you rest peacefully... XOXO
