As part of our learning this year we purchased a butterfly garden kit. We sent away for catepillars and watched them turn into butterflies as a family. I must say that all of us were very excited to watch the transformation of the painted lady butterflies. It was such an incredible learning experience as Cahill wanted to learn so much about butterflies and catepillars. I could barely quench her desire to learn and that made me excited. We were even able to feed them oranges and watch them drink. But no one was as excited as Ashlynn, she would just sit in front of their little home and watch them. But today came the day to set them free. We had so much fun watching them fly around and chase them, but in the end poor Cahill's heart was broken. Her babies flew away and did not return to her.
