They Paved Paradise And They’re Putting Up a Parking Lot and A 7-11 – The End of Bluebonnet Hill

by Jill April 26, 2016
April 26, 2016

R.I.P. Bluebonnet Hill. As of today, it’s totally leveled. The developers think a 7-11 is what we need. Never mind that we have a Walmart and a gas station literally across the street. The people need Slurpees, I suppose.

A photo posted by Jill Krause (@babyrabies) on Mar 23, 2016 at 6:53pm PDT

If you’ve been reading for more than a year, you know that Bluebonnet Hill is one of our (okay, MY) favorite annual traditions. I’ve been dragging my family out there for photos for 4 years, and they’ve been some of my absolute favorites ever of all time.

It’s also yielded some hilarious outtakes and stories, and some of my favorite blog posts. It all started with that first year we took Leyna to a big field of weeds and nature.

IMG_4260IMG_4271IMG_4272

She still makes ALL. THOSE. FACES. EVERYDAY.

She was not feeling it the next year, either…

She finally started getting the hang of it after Lowell came around.

And she was a seasoned pro at dealing with those “icky flowers” by last year. You can see why I had so much hope for this year!

Then again, nothing will ever top the T-rex chase down the hill, so maybe some things are best leaving on a high note.

We still haven’t found a new spot this year, and honestly I don’t really want to. It’s too soon. Too soon to replace my beloved Bluebonnet Hill. Also, it’s a lot of work to get to another spot that’s not practically in our front yard.

So no new bluebonnet pics this year, I’m afraid. My deepest apologies.

Oh how sad!!! Where was it located? I know we live near ya’ll and will be sure NOT to spend our money there.
Cause, ya know, Slurpees.

Nevermind the fact it’s been zoned commercial land for a decade and the Developer graciously ignored all of the trespassing onto private property for years.. Just be glad in the years you enjoyed it and the memories you made. It’s not the “evil developer” or “evil corporation” taking anything away.

I want to show some thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from this predicament. Because of searching throughout the search engines and coming across views that were not pleasant, I believed my entire life was done. Living devoid of the strategies to the issues you’ve sorted out all through this blog post is a serious case, as well as ones which could have adversely affected my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your web site. The talents and kindness in taking care of all the details was very helpful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a solution like this. I can also at this time relish my future. Thanks for your time very much for this professional and sensible guide. I will not be reluctant to suggest your blog post to anybody who needs and wants tips about this topic.

Very nice post thanks for sharing. Every merchandize you own or every product you buy has one thing in common; a logo which represents the company. The same way any website you visit has a logo which not only has a logo which attracts visitors but also tells a story about the brand which is why custom logo design is vital for your business.
