Since we're all back to schooling at home in one form or another, I gave the girls a choice: You can go into school for your school photos or we can go back to the old days of when Mom took your school photos.
The consensus was to go old school.
We threw out some ideas for photo location and landed on a sunflower field. We've never done that before.
We found a morning when we'd all be home. We found a sunflower field. We checked their website that morning: We're sorry. Our fields are currently closed so we have enough sunflowers for our festival this weekend.
Fine, we'll go to the festival. Likely with the whole state but whatever.
We awoke to a rainy, dreary day but the forecast said it'd clear up.
It didn't.
We went anyway.
Having never been to a sunflower festival before, we had great expectations.
We expected this:
The reality was this:
See that sunflower on the right? Not really? Yeah, we had the same problem.
But we were determined. Our mission: To find more than one sunflower in the same spot so we could take some photos.
And then we added another one. Just replanted it from somewhere else. And she held one in her hands.
The pictures? Meh. The memories? Priceless. We're going to laugh about the sunflower field that wasn't for a very long time.
