Badass Bunny: "I decided to tag along with Mark and Kathy as they looked for wildflowers; Mom was worried."

Badass Bunny: "Munch you later, garden."

BB: "Is it time to go?"

"I'll just sit here in the back."

"Here we are in Giddings, plotting our route."

"Aunt Kathy shared her lunch with me."

"We found these Indian Paintbrush flowers north of Giddings near a cemetery."

"This winecup was a good vintage. Yum!"

"So many pinks."

"This is the ranch gate next to the cemetery. We drove two miles off the Farm Road to find this place."

"They call this cactus a Prickly Pair, but I only see one."

"The cemetery for this ranch. A lot of people died since 1879."

"In case you were wondering, we were riding around in Uncle Mark's new Prius."

"These yellow flowers were tall. Kathy held me up so I could see."

"I hopped up to take a look at the Dime Box Heritage Sociery Museum, but it was closed."

"Beautiful downtown Dime Box. Mark likes old buildings."

"Next, we went to Washing-on-the-Brazos State Park. The visitor center had just closed, but the park was open."

"We took the nature walk so I could see different kinds of wildflowers. Here, I'm sitting in some purpley-pink ones.

"I didn't get down in the berry patch 'cause there were thorns."

"Bluebonnets! This is what we came for!"

"A closer look at me in the bluebonnets."

"Here's the big wildflower meadow."

"This clump was just my size."

"Hey, wait! There are other people in our meadow!"

"More flowers."

"Aunt Kathy sat down with me here in this patch."
