Today Halie took the kids outside to release our butterflies. This is actually the second batch of butterflies we did because the first set only came with three caterpillars and I complained since it's supposed to be five. I was really hoping for a refund, but they sent a second batch instead. It ended up working well becuase I was a little traumatized when one of the first butterflies was born with some sort of defect that kept his wings crumpled and he was never able to fly and it was kind of depressing.
But these five were all fine thankfully. Joshua really enjoyed the whole process, but especially letting them go since he got to touch them a little and he has been waiting for that.
Clara also liked getting in on the release, though she chose not to touch them.
Bye butterflies.
This is them being silly after the release.
And then they were over it, onto other things. Though Joshua asked me today when we were getting more cocoons (which he calls "cackoons").
