Anneliese's buddy Conrad gave her a butterfly garden for her birthday. We mailed in our envelope and soon after her birthday party 5 tiny catepillars arrived in our mailbox. They ate and ate and ate until they quadrupled in size and before we knew it, they'd formed 5 little cocoons at the top of the bug container. We transferred the cocoons into the larger butterfly cage and this past week 5 beautiful "painted lady" butterflies emerged from the cocoons! We've had so much fun feeding them sugar water and sliced up oranges. This morning Anneliese released them outside.....it was stunning watching them all fly away. I highly recommend this gift for young kiddos! Entertaining and very educational!

| This one random butterfly happened to land on Callie's shoulder! It made for a great picture...but this was taken only moments before she totally panicked, completely freaked out and probably formulated a not-so-healthy fear of flying creatures for the rest of her life! I mean it....utter terror! |
