Poppies finally!

As usual we went to the poppy festival, and luckily this year they actually bloomed. They are so pretty to look at, and we got in a good little hike walking around. The second is probably my favorite of any of the poppies shots I have taken just because it was a hip shot, and I always enjoy when those work out well. Of course I  had to get the obligatory hand holding photo of my kids, but I think as long as they want to hold hands on their own I will keep taking photos of them doing so. Time is so fleeting, and I want to remember them like this when they are older and going through their prickly years.
