Butterflies

For Christmas, the girls got a kit to grow your own butterflies. I waited until it was summer so we could release them outside after they hatched. When you are ready, you put in your code online and they send you butterfly larva. It takes about a week for them to form into chrysalis and then another week for them to hatch. We were really lucky, Laneah woke 

up early one morning and went to check on them as they were 

emerging so we got to see most of them 

hatch. 


 After watching them for a few days, we released them outside. (uh, btw Laneah dressed herself;)








It was a great experience.
