Butterflies

We've been having a great summer so far. Payton's been enjoying summer camp a few times each week, playing outside almost daily, and we're enjoying the nice weather.

One fun summer activity we did was order a butterfly kit. We ordered caterpillars on-line. I have to admit I was surprised they arrived alive in their little container. (also forgot to take a picture of them). After a couple of weeks they built cacoons and then...left them...here's the empty cacoon picture.

Then, Payton (with the help of some sweet friends), released the butterflies!

What a fun and interesting experience for all of us! We will probably do it again next summer!
