Butterfly Experience

For Hallee's birthday, my parents gave her a butterfly kit- she got the butterfly cage and we sent in to get 5 catepillars, once we got the catepillars we watched them eat and get bigger, then turn into a chrysalis, then about 7 days later we watched them hatch out of their chrysalis into butterflies. Hallee decided to let the butterflies go on Saturday. It was a fun thing to watch and a great experience for the girls- they were so excited when they would see a change, and they sat and watched them for about an hour one day when they were hatching into butterflies. Hallee is my little bug lover, she is constantly looking for bugs, catepillars, she has her little cage and it always has something in it.I asked the neighbor boy one day if he and Hallee played at school- and he told me all Hallee wants to do at recess is search for bugs. That is who she is and something she loves!

Right after they hatched

Hallee found this catepillar- it was huge- it was about the size of pointer finger and it had a horn on its rear!
