Since Mrs. D introduced Grace to the book Butterfly House by Eve Bunting she has been itrigued by butterflies. This Spring we decided to raise a few butterflies of our own. We ordered a kit online from Amazon that consisted of a butterfly house and 2 cups with five caterpillars in them each. Thank goodness we have Aunt DG to help us. Momma had A LOT of questions to ask her about how to do things.
There were some tears shed when the time came to let the butterflies go but just like the little girl in Butterfly House I reminded Grace that maybe next year painted lady butterflies will come back to visit us because we loved their great great grandma the Spring before.
Also while raising our butterflies Aunt DG came for a visit and went to the butterfly exhibit at the Botanical Gardens with Grace. We went towards the beginning of the exhibit so there were not a lot of butterflies but Grace sure saw a few of them up close.
