One thing I’ve learned since moving to Texas is that Texans love Texas and take their state and traditions seriously. One tradition that I loved hearing about was taking your children to fields of bluebonnets that sprout up this time of year and have their picture taken. Sounds nice, huh? I’ve been a mom of four boys 5 and under long enough to know that a picture with them all smiling is impossible and a picture of them all looking in the same direction is a rarity. So, I set my bar for this adventure very low and made it my goal to get one wide shot just with them in it somewhere. After taking about 70 pictures, I have two or three with all four boys in it. I have quite a few more with Greg in them chasing one twin or another to “re-set” them.
What makes attempting to take a picture with your four precious boys more fun?… making sure you keep an eye out for rattlesnakes while you do it (seriously, you are warned by veteran parents about this around here).
Without further adieu, here is the picture of our boys in the bluebonnets 2012 and some other just for kicks…
Stop laughing, this is seriously the best picture of them all! I know, I should have hired a professional…
Our bluebonnet pictures from this same spot two years ago. Aaron is wearing the same shirt that Eric wore today.
