Flower Mound, Texas

Rising 50 feet above its surroundings, The Mound is a nod to the town's formative years and comprises nearly 13 acres of uninterrupted, beautiful countryside populated by wildflowers. Because early pioneer settlers never plowed the land, more than 175 species of wildflowers flourish throughout the year including the Tall Bluestem, bluebonnet, Field Pansy, Indian Blanket, and Wild Foxglove. Visitors can enjoy the various species of wildflowers and catch a glimpse of downtown Dallas on the horizon.









Of course, the MAIN attraction in Flower Mound is our Great-granddaughter, Cami, shown here bouncing on Great Grandpa's knee and helping Great Grandma pet Tigger.

Wow! I can't believe how big she's getting! What a great smile. Thanks for the pictures and, of course, the history lesson. I always wondered why it was called Flower Mound. I don't remember visiting the Mound when we came to TX -- but that was many years ago.

Sorry we never took you to the mound the last time you were here Priscilla. Next time you're in Texas, I promise we'll make the trip.

Wow! Does she look just like Sara did as a baby? That is the way I remember Sara looking as I would try to lug her around!

Glad you guys are having a good time. Can't wait to see you!
