FLYING FREE!
The butterfly garden was a great hit. The caterpillars went into their chrysalises and then emerged as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies. The kids had so much fun growing them. We enjoyed them for about three days and then let them go. I highly recommend it as a great family experiment! We are still reading through the butterfly book: The Life Cycles of Butterflies: From Egg to Maturity, a Visual Guide to 23 Common Garden Butterflies

The Painted Lady Butterflies started to emerged while we were in Mound, MN visiting my parents but the kids loved coming home to the butterflies!
They loved oranges!
Lucy loved the butterflies - she will flap her arms to show what butterflies do. "FLY!"
If you love them let them go! It was quite thrilling to see them fly free!
Try your own Butterfly garden!
