Butterfly House

I know, I know....two posts in two days?!? Don't expect a repeat anytime soon.


Our town has a really cool garden that turns one of its greenhouses into a butterfly house every year. We’ve missed it every year we’ve been here until today (and now I’m kicking myself). They don’t stress out about the kids trying to touch the butterflies…


Cole wasn’t so sure about these weird bugs at first…

Jack actually got pretty good at getting them to crawl onto his finger.

Cole did eventually warm up a bit, but didn’t really want to get too close.

Cole was actually more interested in yelling at the canaries than looking at the butterflies.March 2011 027


This was the first one Jack caught all by himself. After that he was hooked!March 2011 028

We will definitely be going back in the next few weeks! (As long as this baby stays put a little longer!)

What fun that is! When we hatch butterflies at school, we don't want the kids to touch. They have to dry their wings. When is it safe to touch?
Love those boys.

We have a butterfly house at our zoo...I love it-seems so springy! Those are some great pics.
