BLUEBONNETS!!!

So, the bluebonnet is the Texas state flower and if you were to come to Waco today you'd know why - they are out in full force and the fields along the highways are beautiful! So, when Paul's mom was in town last week we found a pretty field for Ilana to sit in - far away from the highway, don't worry - and took a few pictures of our own...is eight pictures too many for one blog?? I can't pick, they're all my favorites.

For those of you who may not know, this is what a bluebonnet looks like (the blue-ish, purple-y flowers in this picture), and there are usually a few of these pretty orange flowers in the fields of them as well...
The wind was blowing on this day and this is what Ilana does in the wind...or this...Does her index finger look double-jointed to you? It does to me, especially in this picture...Oh my word, she's just way too cute, and we had way too much fun just watching her explore these flowers...
Pensive, as always...
Ok, I think these last two are my favorites from the day, but only because the sun was shining perfectly so you can see every fat roll on her arms... :)

She was so delicate with the flowers until the very end when she picked one - which, by the way is illegal to do in Texas, but she's a baby. All we'd have to do is show the officer how cute she is and we know she'd be pardoned.
