Dallas Blooms (almost)

Tomorrow, Dallas Blooms at the arboretum starts and it turns out that they don't plant all of those amazing flowers overnight! We went today (with Alison and Baby Jack) and the place is already in full bloom. Sweet Baby Jack slept through the picnic and most of the fun, but who can blame him?! The weather was perfect for napping! Ellie thought the weather was perfect for enjoying her new-found independence -- she loved walking around in the grass and welcoming visitors to our little corner of the arboretum! Here are just a few pictures...

I remember trying to get pictures of Ellie with the flowers last spring -- I just sort of set her infant carrier in front of them. Alison was much more resourceful:
Doesn't this just look like the best nap?

Wow, it looks like a perfect day in a beautiful setting. Love the pictures on the bench especially. It's great that Ellie is so independent - exploring the world! Hope we get a chance to go again to the arboretum when we're in Dallas.

What a wonderful day! I love the pictures of Ellie walking away. I can't wait to see that little waddle in action!!!
