Anna got one of the coolest gifts EVER for her birthday--a butterfly habitat! We ordered the larvae online, and the girls LOVED watching them grow, turn into cocoons, and then hatch into butterflies. Amazing.
I asked Anna when she wanted to release them, and she said she thought Easter would be nice since that's the day that Jesus rose again. Oh, my sweet baby...how I love that girl!
And, so, as requested, on Easter we sent the butterflies into the "wild".
Kate needed to be sure to take a closer look before we let them go...
This one wasn't quite ready to leave, so hung out with us for a while before we finally sent him on his way. What a great experience--we'll definitely be doing some more of these next spring! The girls still "look" for their butterflies around the yard, and have "spotted" them quite a few times!
