All A Flutter Butterfly Farm

We met a playgroup at a butterfly farm last week. First we learned about Monarch butterflies. Then we went into netted structure that housed a ton of butterflies & chrysalises. We learned that butterflies make chrysalises & moths make cocoons. As we were driving down the long gravel driveway to go home, I saw a black coil on the side of the road. It was a very long snake. Since Madelyn loves all animals & reptiles, I stopped the car far from the snake's reach, & let Madelyn watch the snake slither across the road into the grass. I think that was her most memorable moment of our trip.

Madelyn demonstrated the Monarchs senses. As you can see, its much differ from ours.

I can't remember what both Madelyn & Ansley demonstrated here, but they had fun!

I love Ansley's poses!

Nothing like watermelon on a hot day:)
