From walks around the neighborhood, Reese has learned how to identify bluebonnets. She calls them "blue-bots." Since this year's crop of wildflowers has been especially stunning, we took time on Sunday to visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Despite the chillier temperatures and the constant drizzle, the place was packed. We arrived early and spent a few hours walking along the paths and admiring all the displays as well as untamed areas.
Reese particularly liked all the pond features, and looked for turtles and fish inside each one we passed.
She also learned the word "statue" since so many interesting statues dot the grounds and displays.
Overall, Reese thoroughly enjoyed herself--and as an added bonus she completely wore herself out. (We enjoyed a 2+ hour nap when we got home!) If the wildflowers are as striking next year, we may make a repeat trip.
