Butterflies

Thanks to Uncle Boyd and family, we got a butterfly growing kit. It was a really fun experiment to see caterpillars (that arrived in the mail) grow in a jar and then turn into chrysalids and then become butterflies. We only kept the butterflies in the little butterfly netted enclosure for a couple of days and then we decided to let them go. Here is Maya saying goodbye to our three pets.

Maya examines the butterfly one last time.

Another one sat on her finger for a moment before fluttering away. Thanks for the cool present Boyd, Kim, Connor and Chase!
