The Butterflies





Our first day back from Utah we released our butterflies which had hatched while we were gone. A few months ago the kids got a butterfly garden from Grandma Nelson and we decided to wait until we got up here to send in for the caterpillars. Everyday the kids would check the mailbox to see if they had come. Finally they arrived and they waited patiently and sometimes impatiently for the caterpillars to turn into butterflies. They finally did while we were gone. So before heading off to the beach with grandma and grandpa we let them go. Lia even got to hold one of them. Thanks Janet for the fun present! I'm glad you were here to see them go.
