The Miracle of the Butterfly




For an end of summer activity we ordered some caterpillars that we watched transform into butterflies!  We got 5 in our little batch!  We did this activity years ago in Vegas and loved it so much we decided to do it again.  The miracle of life and the transformation of a hairy caterpillar with a million little  legs transforming itself into a small cocoon and then coming out a beautiful new creature with wings and patterns is always humbling and awe inspiring.  The kids had fun feeding our butterflies for a few days as they flew around their butterfly house.  But, unfortunately there is always the moment when we have to let them go and fly free.  These butterflies let the kids hold them, touch them and tickle their palms before flying away....it was such a sweet little treat.  Thank you butterflies for being with us and sharing your spirits with us!  Fly free!
