It's one of the best things about Texas ... the annual Texas wildflower season each March. It's only just begun, but I had this idea that we could pick some flowers, dry them, and then do some craft later on with the dried flowers. The kids loved the idea, so we combined picture taking with wildflower picking.
 |
| Payden was in heaven ... pink and purple and yellow and red flowers ... right up this little girly girl's alley!! |
 |
| Tom stayed in the car and let us do the picking. |
 |
| Declan needed a reminder that we do not cross the road by ourselves and without looking. He loved picking the flowers, but went a little crazy with his picking. |
 |
| As always, Shelby was slow and methodical finding just the right flower to pick. |
 |
| Taylor actually moved at a normal pace instead of her normal fast pace. Unfortunately for her, she's like her mom and is allergic to being outside. She was itching the most by the time we were done. |
The only downfall to this idea was having a bunch of wildflowers in the car with us as we drove around. I think we were all sneezing by the time we got home, but we had a wonderful day and are looking forward to making Texas wildflower crafts someday.

We don't have too many flowers here yet, but I'd love to come picking wild flowers with y'all (minus the allergies and sneezing), but I hear the bluebonnets are at their prime right now.
Beautiful. I am living my old texas memories through your blog! What a great outdoor family activity.
What a fun idea. And.... ah yes. The downside to the gorgeous TX spring. That's what my spring pics of Avery and Addie also doesn't really show- the toll it takes on our allergies during and afterwards!
