A funny thing: when I spent a semester in Italy and as we traveled around and struck up conversations with others the inevitable question was, "Where are you from?" One of two response would come from my fellow classmates: "America" or "TEXAS." Yes, if your a Texan you will often claim that to be your first nationality and only American as a close second. Down here we love our Cowboys, the Alamo, and our bigger than yours Capital dome (yes, it is 5ft taller than the one on that Hill) and anything else that reminds us and you of The Lone Star State. That is why every spring you will see hundreds of people doing this...
Trekking up to get the best bluebonnet pictures.
We tried to get some of the Ellis' kiddos and my boys. We searched and searched for the best spot.
Maybe up higher?
Where do you think Luci?
Still hunting for the perfect spot.
Examining a scrapped knee. Taking pictures can be rough.
That's a great spot Peter!
Well, on the first attempt we couldn't find any great spots for my boys. Their cousins ended up with some fun pictures.
Not accepting defeat....Remember the Alamo! We tried again this past Sunday.
First start with a classic outfit.
And a Cheesy smile.
The one that made it all worth while.
You must submit these to some Texas travel magazine or something....they are incredible.
