Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center


My Mother's Day Part 2 was spent here. We had such wonderful weather, we just HAD to go! The Center is on the south side of Austin, just about half an hour from Wimberely. We pass it every time we go in and out of town, but have never stopped to enjoy. Please visit the Center's site for more information and make a trip yourself!

We got to try our our new hiking backpack while we were there. I'm glad Zach was the one to wear her most of the day though. She's HEAVY!

These were my favorite flowers we say all day and wouldn't you know that I completely forgot what they are called. Cone something?? They were everywhere, evidenced by the 10 or so pictures I took of them.

The ONLY scorpion Tatum will ever get close to!


Caught mid-crawl and oh so cute...


Now I know why the fella at REI said these backpacks are easiest to wear when you have walking pole things... kinda like skiing poles. I was VERY top heavy.
