Dallas Arboretum – March 28, 2014

This was the best family photo we could get all day.

While the Petermans were here the Dallas Blooms event was going on so we made plans to see the flowers and attempt photos with the kids. First off, the flowers were amazing and I loved the tulips so much!!!! I am going to do a separate post just to put the flower photos in because they are so pretty. Dani was so upset at any movement towards group photos and pretty much stayed cranky the entire day, but we just rolled her along in the wagon and continued on our way.

Group shot at the end of our day.

And now for my favorite photo of the day – Mike and Randy. After all the flowers and girly stuff they did this for me. Total awesomeness!

My last post was from our visit to the Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Village. They opened up the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden last year and we were hoping for a nice day to go visit and take some photos for our annual Christmas calendar. There was one beautiful day the first week of December and we got so many great photos it was hard to narrow it down.
