Butterfly Festival 2011 (8/13/2011)

Coming highly recommended by Juliana & Aunt Sharon, ALL of us went to the Butterfly Festival at the Watershed this year! The girls were all ready for the festival with butterflies in their hair, wings on their back, and butterflies on their shirts-- they looked cute!





They got to see and learn alot about the environment, etc. We went into the Butterfly House, which is always awesome-- I love it in there; so pretty!


A few of the kids went into the meadow with big nets that caught a lot of cool stuff. The kids would swich the net through the tall grass & plants and it would collect a lot of little creatures that we cool to check out.

Before we left, the girls walked in the Butterfly parade. It was cute to see all of the little "butterflies" on parade! :)

What a catch! (7/4/08)

After almost being run over by Daddy & the lawn mower, this butterfly was spared and captured with the help of our neighbor, Doris! The kids were all amazed at the sight of the butterfly... it was very big & pretty.
We kept it in the jar for awhile, but it really needed to be set free. Angelia didn't want to let it go, but as I explained to her, the butterfly has a family & friends, too, who miss it and it needs to go find them again... to make her understand a little more, I referenced the NOGGIN Show, "Miss Spider"-- be good to bugs! :) After much convincing, she finally brought it back outside and she & Doris let it go in Doris' garden. Fly butterfly, fly! :)
