I was looking through some old photos and found a treasure.
Butterfly release day!
How many of you homeschool moms recognize the butterfly house?
We bought it, a bunch of caterpillars, and some sort of food from a website. Or maybe a local store. This happened six years ago!
We watched the entire processes, then took the butterflies to a park to set them free. We decided the park had more nice flowers for them than our backyard. Or maybe we were worried the kids would see a dead butterfly and cry over their pet.
It was such fun. They still talk about it and we still have the house. Maybe we should get some more caterpillars and do it again!
Bonus froggie for your viewing pleasure.

Oh my goodness! I think this is the first glimpse I've ever had of your kids!
Love this...especially feeding the butterfly and all the beautiful flowers in the background. Are those rose of sharon?

From beginning to end what an awesome experience, beautiful photos.
Look at those sweet pics. That looks like about the time we met. :) Was it while you were still here? Now your kiddos are looking so grown up...
what sweet pictures.
That was so sweet. Loved them all.
Fun times...we did that every spring when the boys were young and set them free on Easter!
What a great learning experience for the kiddos. My son isn't homeschooled, but that would be a perfect project this spring!
Oh, how cool! :)
I used to teach young children, and when we release the butterflies, I teach them the Butterfly, wait for me don't fly away.
