My girl has fallen in love with moths and butterflies. For her birthday we got her one of those butterfly pavillions and mailed in their coupon for 5 caterpillars. They arrived in a clear jar full of food. It took about 4 days for them to be in chrysalis form. A few days later on Saturday morning we woke up to BUTTERFLIES fluttering around. It was a good day:)
We found flowers to put in there and dipped them in sugar water. Also we gave them orange slices. They really seemed to love their treats!
Tonight was the night to let them venture out on their own.
It was sad for my girl but she was very proud that she had cared for her butterflies. After playing in the yard and pool all day, she was ready to let them fly away. Such a sweet site as they flew off, one by one and she called their names, telling them that she would miss them and to be careful. She did an amazing job at caring for them and I am so proud of her:)

Lesa.. that is so precious! I'm sure your sweetie was one of the best caretakers, ever! Your pictures are awesome!
We ordered our treehouse straight from the website! Kylie is so excited as well... she asks every day, is my butterfly house coming today?!

Aw, thanks Laurie!
Kylie is going to love the butterfly house. It is really neat to watch them go from a caterpillar to a butterfly, very cool process!
Thanks for the link, I will check out the site for other critters too! :)
Lesa beautiful photos!
Jaiden just did the butterflies at school and it was an amazing project for the kids.
Looks like Isabel may want to think about studying more bugs...LOL fun fun!
