Bluebonnets

The visit to Texas would not be complete without the pictures in bluebonnets.
Kiki has some from when she was barely five weeks old; very, very cute. Too bad that I don't have a scanner on hand, I would put them in here.

We were lucky that the Spring came late to Texas this year. Usually the bluebonnets are gone by April ( at least that is how I remember ). This year they were still there in the end of the month.
On the way back to Houston we pulled on the side of the road and tried to have posed pictures of our children in bluebonnets. One could think that because they are not so little anymore we could succeed easily, but no, there is always at least one not looking into the camera. The background is also not the one I could wish for, but this time I'll take it. It is better to have imperfect pictures than none!

And while I am at the subject of flowers, allow me to share other colors of Texas that I had a chance to capture!

Galveston, ferry ride and good bye...

The last evening in Texas we had decided not to spend in the hotel room packing up, even though we were tired after spending almost a whole day in NASA center.

The weather was to nice to sit it out, and the Gulf of Mexico quite close. The kids did not visit this part of Atlantic Ocean yet.
 

We  were lucky to catch a free ferry ride to some kind of an island in Galveston, and back. We were told that  from the ferry we could see leaping dolphins. We did see them, but far away and not too many.
Nevertheless we had a chance to catch a glimpse of glorious sunset in Texas; until we come again!

" Houston we've got a problem..."

The trip to NASA, in Houston, beats any school field trips; and it was a school day for our girls.
They have learnt a lot ( me too ), and were very satisfied with that lesson!
