Daffodil Garden Adventure

Hi everyone!
Today we went to The Helen Lee Daffodil Gardens in Gladewater, TX. 
Miss Jeanne, Miss Jessica and I had the most amazing day!
The flowers were amazing! The daffodils are on 28 acres of beautiful land, covered in amazing golden flowers. Where did all these flowers come from???

Well, a long time ago Mrs. Lee purchased an entire train car load of daffodil bulbs from Holland and some workers planted them. This is Mrs Johnson and Mr Dennis. Mrs. Johnson's grandparents, Mamie and Nathaniel Scott, worked for Mrs. Lee and helped plant these beautiful flowers. Mrs. Johnson is now the manager of Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Gardens and keeps all the visitors happy everyday. Mr Dennis works very hard to take care of all of the trees and the roads and the flowers! He is very busy!

I am very honored to have my picture taken with them. They work so hard to keep this beautiful garden maintained and open for people to enjoy every spring. Thank you Mrs. Johnson and Mr Dennis!

Daffodils smell so wonderful!

              Make sure you stop and smell a flower today....

it will make you smile.

 

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and

it felt so good!

We saw a lake there named Lake Josephine. Mrs Lee named the lake after her mom and she used to go there to enjoy the flowers and nature. It is beautiful!

While we were there, we got to see some people get married! We watched from far away because we didn't want to be rude and interrupt their special day. Miss Jeanne says we always need to show respect for other people and use our manners. I think Miss Josephine and Mrs Lee would have enjoyed seeing people be happy at their lake and gardens. 

Here is a picture of me and Miss Jessica. We had such a good time I smiled ALL day long!

           Aren't the daffodils beautiful!!

Did you know that a lot of people come from all over Texas, the country and even the world to visit the daffodils? Some people have even come from Bolivia, Brazil, England, France, Ireland, New Zealand, and Scotland! Those places are a long way away. Wow!!

Winter Formal Photo Booth Fun

 

Hi y'all!

Miss Jeanne and I took the Photo Booth to the Winter Formal in Lindale Saturday night. It was the first time I have been to a photo booth event and it was a blast!!    The theme was Mardi Gras Magic.  We had a great time!  This dance was a fundraiser for the Star Steppers drill team so we went shopping before the dance and found this great blue hat just like the Star Steppers wear.  Since this was a formal event I also got a new black bow tie.  I even got a new camera!  It was pretty exciting!

The photo booth was SO much fun!

I had a lot of fun with organizers. 

These are some hard working parents y'all! 

I had a lot of fun with the girls

They were all so pretty and very nice to me

Hanging out with the guys

Oh my...  I think I am blushing

We had a great time with the Photo Booth at Mardis Gras Magic. 

I smiled ALL night long!

 

If you would like information on the photo booth coming to your event please email or call Miss Jeanne at 903-805-5340  OR you can go to our website www.brickroadphoto.com  and send us a message. 

 

Have a fun day and

Keep Smiling!
