Cherry Blossom Girl - March 30-31, 2013

During the three weeks that the cherry trees are in bloom, everyone comes out to UW's quad to take pictures. EVERYONE. It's like bluebonnet season in Texas, except if there were only one field of bluebonnets in the entire state.

At 8am, a few people have already arrived.

Lyra and superstar mommy.

Before Lyra acquired her own sunglasses, she had to make do with imaginary ones.

Or Mommy's sunglasses, when available.

Lyra's first day of college.

Lyra gives her favorite cherry tree a hug. Totally not posed by Mommy. Why would you think that?

Hooray for cherry blossoms!

A Running Baby™ says goodbye to the cherry blossoms. See you next year!
