Fly, Butterfly

Navelle's Uncle Raph and Aunt Annie sent her a kit to raise butterflies. We received tiny caterpillars in the mail and watched them grow, turn into crysalids, and then emerge as painted lady butterflies. Then we took them outside for release, which was Navelle's favorite part.

hey, this is very neat!

Navelle was keen to release the butterfly near the butterfly garden ornament.

 

Bye bye! Fly, Butterfly, fly!
