Butterfly Release

One of Abi's favorite things right now is butterflies so for Abi's birthday, she received a butterfly pavilion and hatching kit. The kit contains a mail-in coupon for caterpillars and once they arrive, you watch them eat for several days, then form chrysalides and finally turn into butterflies (very similar to the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, minus the ice cream cones and sausages). Abi has been patiently waiting for the weather to warm up and now that summer has finally arrived, we sent away for her caterpillars. Unfortunately, we didn't document the entire process but we did capture the most exciting part which was the release of the butterflies.

Lucky for us, one was a bit shy so Abi got to hold it before it flew away!
