Taking pictures of your child in a field of bluebonnets is so
TEXAN. I never planned to do this with Dominic. Actually, I didn't really think about it at all. But the bluebonnet photo shoot concept came up in a conversation Emmy and I were having on Monday and a quick Google search revealed that bluebonnets peak in the second week of April. Within 30 minutes, we had put D in springy outfit, grabbed his straw fedora, and headed out to Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. The truth is, I couldn't resist an opportunity to snap some pics in a new setting. That cute boy plus my awesome new camera is one dynamite combination!
The plants were not very tall. I wonder if they'll peak late this year, or if that location just isn't the best. But we had a great time, and I think we'll definitely make this a tradition. I'm already looking forward to next year when Dominic will be trampling those poor bluebonnets.
Twelve years from now he'll have an angry look on his face because you dragged him away from his XBox. :P
ReplyDeleteSeriously though these pictures are amazingly cute!!
Good point! Maybe we'll just do it until he's 8 or so. We saw another mom there with 4 young kids. The boys were wearing sweater vests and khakis. Pretty cute.
ReplyDeleteI like the yearly tradition idea. He'll appreciate it one day. And he'll recreate it with his own family someday, you wait and see!
