Being a Daisy Scout has been a wonderful experience for Clary. She has made lots of new friends and they have shared many fun adventures together.

Our latest outing took us to the beautiful East Texas Arboretum. I often do photo sessions there, but rarely take time to stop and smell the flowers. I was happy to have a relaxing evening with the girls to enjoy all the hidden treasures that the arboretum has to offer.

On the day we visited, we got the opportunity to observe the bees in full honey making mode and hundreds of tiny frogs hopping among the lilypads in the pond. There were also snakes and tadpoles and dragonflies, lots of birds and butterflies, and unfortunately, lots of destruction thanks to all the wild hogs that live in the nearby woods. All the gorgeous flowers were putting on quite a show, and the vegetable garden was equally as impressive.

The scout leader gave an informative ladybug lesson and the girls were able to closely observe some ladybugs and then release them in the garden. Squeals and giggles commenced and there was much debate regarding which flowers were the most perfect on which to release the bugs.

I'm happy to report that no ladybugs were injured during this adventure!
