Butterfly Magic

One of Abbies preschool field trips this last fall was to the Botanical Gardens.  We got to see the coolest butterfly exhibit!  (Abby, Andy, Noah, Ada & Kinsie)

It was so hot in the little greenhouse that my lens kept fogging up.  And by the end we were all dripping sweat!

It was uber cool watching them eat.



The butterflies were everywhere and they would land on you constantly.  It took Abby & Joey a little time to not freak out every time one got near them.  But they got there.  Abby wore her flower pants so the butterflies would feel comfortable around her.  :D

If you look closely, a butterfly is fluttering next to Joey's head, about to land.

Cool!


It was a fun day!  We learned a lot about Butterflies and plants that day and had a fun picnic at the park afterwards.   And just for entertainment...Here's Brian Regan's clip on "Butterfly Questions" (click on the link below).  It was our theme for the day! :)  http://comedians.jokes.com/brian-regan/videos/brian-regan---butterfly-questions
