A Little family outing today - off to see the butterflies. It was a really warm day and we were quickly reminded how sweaty Kent gets. Even as a small babe Kent's forehead would be loaded with beads of sweat. His hair soaked like he got out of the bath. We looked at Leon in his car seat and he wasn't sweaty. genes. perhaps. Looking hot and sweaty doesn't stop Kent from a good time.
He was excited to see all of the people and all of the "Oh wow, more butterflies!" "Look! Black and Orange Butterflies!" "They are flying!" "Oh Wow!" and loads of giggles.
There is natural bling on the chrysalis - a beautiful line of gold - so delicate
Wade and I were determined to learn something while we were there...so... that's why I took the picture of this poster. (we did manage to actually talk briefly with one of the guides there.)

Leon slept the entire time. We went outside and walked around the display gardens and left with a seed ball to plant at home and grow milkweed and other butterfly favourites.
Hope it grows well!
