A few weeks ago someone in one of the girls classes posted a picture of the most gorgeous field of purple flowers to their wechat group. As soon as I saw the pictures, I knew we had to go. The following Saturday promised to be beautiful (yet, hot) weather and so we decided to venture out. I could never quite get the English name of the park (it didn't appear to draw a lot of foreign visitors) but on one of the signs I saw the word 'aroma' so we just started to call it Aroma Park. I am going to let the pictures do most of the talking - we explored for about two hours taking in some gorgeous scenery, listening to a little complaining ;) and discovering a light house along the way.

^ I love this sweet scene. ^
^ Wes is great at letting the girls be themselves and getting these natural pictures of them - he took this one and it's one of my favorites. ^
^ we wrapped up our visit twirling in front of the lighthouse. ^
^ and said bye to these pretty flowers (until next year ;)). ^
The comment about listening to q little complaining reminds me of our childhood and going to the arboretum ;) love the close up shot of the purple flower.
