Flowers, flowers, everywhere and not a one to pick!

We went to the Arboretum last week and saw the beautiful peony garden. It was huge and there were lots of different colors and sizes of flowers everywhere but we couldn't pick any of them, as I kept having to remind the girls. The girls had a great time running around and smelling them, though, and were good to put up with a little rain while I tried to get some decent pictures.
Here's Leah with her hands-off approach:

Some of these flowers were almost as big as my kid's heads!

My beautiful, happy Leah

There were also roses growing along the fence that were pretty and Abbie loved smelling those

You want me to sit on a bench, look at the camera, and smile? Yeah, right! This is the best picture (of about 20) that I could get of them on the bench before they were off and running again.


Just two more random pictures of the girls. Leah all dirty after playing outside...

And Abbie helping to get the dishes clean. Glad I have at least one child that likes to be clean!

I love your pictures! Especially the two of the girls coming and going from the camera - awesome job! To me those are more precious than any bench photo would've been :)

I can't believe how long Abbie's hair is! And so curly! Do you curl it?! The flowers are awesome, but you're even more awesome to take your girls there! :)

Truman, Ashton and Tate loved looking at the pictures and they want you to come visit again! We'll settle for seeing you at the reunion in a few weeks!
