Bye Bye Butterflies...

My brother has been getting Landrie all these nature kits and she is loving them. This was the butterfly house or something like that. You buy the house at the store and then send the insert off for the caterpillars and they go through their cycle. I didn't take any pictures of that because they came in a small plastic cup and until they were in their cacoon they had to stay in it and it was hard to get a picture of so I just waited until they were butterflies. The whole process took about 2 weeks from caterpillars to butterflies. So on Mother's Day when we got back from the park and everything we decided to let them go since we read they only live 2 weeks anyway. But it says they can travel up to 1000 miles in that 2 week period! Pretty cool. Landrie loved them, they were really neat to watch. So these pictures are of us letting them go...

It took them a while to get brave and fly out of the house
