Butterfly Bonanza

When we moved here last summer Grandma Darden had sent a butterfly habitat kit with the kids to enjoy after we got moved in and settled. They loved that experience of watching the entire process from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. They even got the opportunity to gently hold them (without touching their wings) and then a day or so later release them outside. Since that time on a monthly bases the girls have questioned us on when we can get another habitat, and with the butterfly exhibit returning to the zoo their excitement for it had reached an all time high. We therefore purchased another one which promptly arrived in the mail and over the last few weeks have been able to enjoy the experience all over again.
