Celebrating new life

We adopted a couple of caterpillars a few weeks ago. One is in a chrysalis now, the other one because a butterfly two days agoo and we set it free yesterday. A few days after we got them Owen made the different stages out of playdough (eggs on a leaf, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly).

In case you haven't noticed, we've had rain at least 23 out of the last 30 days. Not the best weather to set free a butterfly. We finally had some sun yesterday. Owen and I went out in the morning and tried but it mostly sat in the grass and crawled around on our hands. So we brought it back in and tried again later in the afternoon. The second time it flew right to the neighbor's tree. It was so neat to watch and so exciting for Owen. We can't wait for the second one to come out. Nana would have loved this.
