Wildflowers in Yucaipa!

The wildflowers this spring have been amazing after an especially wet winter. We took Maddie out to her favorite park so we could take a walk through the wildflowers. She had so much fun!

She has recently discovered dandelions and how much fun they are to blow. She calls them "diddy-wyons" and tries and tries to blow the dandelion apart. After a while she hands it to me so I can blow it for her. While the dandelion seeds are floating around, she runs around in the cloud of them and yells "BUBBLES!"

The trail was beautiful all lined with wildflowers.

Maddie loves the park. She asks to go every day and we usually end up there every day so she can run around and soak up some sunshine. She likes the slides and swings, but she mostly likes to explore. She is a wanderer. She loves to find rocks, flowers, and dirt. She was in heaven with all these wildflowers she could pick.

 Maddie sat down against this fence post to smell some flowers.

Love this picture.

My Maddie flower in a sea of flowers. She couldn't believe how many flowers there were. She kept saying, "Look at all the fwowers!"

Hiking up the last part of the trail. The scenery in Yucaipa is such a beautiful backdrop for photos.

Maddie loved sitting in the flowers and did not want to leave!

Smelling the flowers - she's learning how to actually sniff things. Usually, she picks up a flower and blows on it, imitating the sniffing noise.

We are loving the beautiful spring weather in sunny Southern California. Hopefully the wildflowers stick around for a while - they are amazing!
