Butterflies

I can't even remember what day it was now! It seems forever ago! It had to have been a couple of weeks ago, at least, we went to a butterfly house in Independence. It just opened up this year, and it's only 10 to 15 minutes from our house! The kids LOVED it. They had a back room full of pictures to color for the kids, and a butterfly wheel of their life cycle, that the kids could take home to study some more of what they learned. What a fantastic learning opportunity!
Then they took us to their butterfly house, where it was 80 degrees! It was maybe 55 outside, so when we got inside, we were all sweating buckets! Alex loved the butterflies, and was squeeling with excitement! And James and Glenn were quiet, so had the butterflies land on their hand. It was fantastic!
Then after that, they took us to the breeding rooms, and got to see all the different stages of the butterfly. It was quite fascinating! So, if anyone is interested, it's a great place to visit... I would recommend it. It is spendy to get in, so make sure you have time to enjoy it! They also have some beautiful gardens to enjoy... I can imagine it will be wonderful during the summer!

Other than that, James has started baseball, so we're busy hauling him around to baseball and karate. Oh, Glenn is so eager to fall in his footsteps! We told him he needs to be five, and he is so excited to turn 5! But it's going to be an old hat for him, cause he plays baseball, and practices karate as much as James!

Take care everyone, and I'll try to get caught up on a few more pictures soon!
