Spring is coming! - Our trip to the "Arburrito"

Every year we take a trip to the Dallas Arboretum to experience the arrival of spring. This year, our trip was scheduled after a week of snow, so we weren't sure how the flowers would have faired. As it turns out, there were still many flowers, but it was it was clear that a good number of bulbs had been pulled and replaced by pansies, which withstand the winter weather more.

This year was special because we went during Kindergarten hours and with our homeschool buddies, the Héberts. The kids were sent on a scavenger hunt to find the signs of spring. A chirping bird, various colored flowers, a long leaf, a bug, a bird, a butterfly, a baby in a stroller, a bud on a tree or bush, and a bride.

By the end of the day we were hot and tired, but it was a beautiful display of spring colors and a perfect experience for our little Kindergartners.

Here are a couple of our cute pictures, but there are lots more in the Seasons gallery on Smugmug.
