Are you feeling sleepy?



Did you know that when it's windy outside, the lovely California poppy will curl up it's petals as if to brace itself from the elements? You would if you lived in our neck of the woods. We live about 7 miles from the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve, which ironically enough, usually doesn't have as many poppies as the surrounding open fields. Taking a little jaunt out to one of these fields was our adventure for the afternoon.








Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, it was incredibly windy this afternoon. You'll see in the pictures what I was talking about when I said the poppies curl up. It doesn't make for the best photographs, but the boys had fun running (and falling) through the fields of flowers.






I need to have a word with that Wicked Witch, though. The boys are as wired as ever.
