We have had an exciting last couple of weeks over here. Connor had been given a butterfly kit and we decided the spring was the perfect time to use it.
Inside the box was a postcard to mail off for the caterpillars. We spent a week watching them eat and get bigger every day.
After they turned into chrysalis, we moved them over to the big net and waited for the butterflies to appear. Connor was so excited when the first one came out. He named all 9 of them and had lots of fun watching them fly around.
This past Saturday we had the Armstrongs over so we thought it was the perfect time to let the butterflies go.
Jenna and Connor both took turns unzipping the net so the butterflies could fly free.
Most of them didn't fly too far away so Connor was able to hold a few.
We had such a fun time watching and learning more about these beautiful butterflies!
