//Kids | Genevieve under the blossoms | Lyndale Park Gardens

When Genevieve was two I had the idea of taking her to my favorite spot in Minneapolis in the spring, Lyndale Garden Park. It was going to be amazing! I got there and set my camera bag down and looked up and she was half way down the little hill toward the road. I ran as fast as I could with my camera and scooped her up in my arms just as she was about to cross the street. Phew!

Many people are familiar with the Rose Gardens which is stunningly beautiful for sure. But in the spring, just beyond the roses to the right on the hillside is the most magical collection of blossoming trees in the universe. I can hardly stand it, it’s so beautiful. My girls watch me freak out every spring when we go there.

Over the years I’ve taken many pictures in this spot, but this time the focus was just on her.

She had so many ideas. Much better than my ideas. I loved it. And I love her.
