Bluebonnets and Tornados again in Texas

We tried the weekend before last to get Bluebonnet photos as it is a Texas and family tradition and it was a disaster. The weather turned cooler suddenly while we were out. The patch we found turned out to have cactus in it so both boys were cold, not smiling and Clark ended up with cactus spines on him.

We were debating going out again and made the last minute decision to head to Ennis this past Saturday. It was a decision that I am happy we made. Phillip pulled up a map of the Bluebonnet trail webpage which showed where the best fields are and after a bit of scouting around we found this amazing patch and had happy kids which made for great photos. These are a few of the photos that Phillip has edited.

And as always seems to happen when we get bluebonnet photos we are under tornado warnings tonight. They are predicting 80 mile an hour winds, tornadoes, and grapefruit sized hail. I know our lantern is charged but when I get home I will go ahead and get the bathroom ready just in case we need to seek shelter.  If the storm fizzles out or does not make it this far south I will still have a clean bathroom.
