An afternoon with the butterflies

We went to see the butterflies this afternoon. First, we stopped to see the live butterflies in the outdoor rainforest. We don't have any pictures of that because, you know, you've seen a gazillion posts of that before. Besides, Mami was so busy complaining about how hot it was that she didn't manage to get any good shots off.

But then we went inside to see a special exhibit about the life of a butterfly. Daddy escorted me through the display, which was pretty much a big maze.

We got to walk like caterpillars and

hang out on leaves like caterpillars.

As a short aside, Mami would like to present this photo as Exhibit A regarding why there are not more pictures of me and my sister together: we don't cooperate.

Anyway, back to the butterflies.We walked through creepy-caterpillar-eating-plants,

and sat in cocoons,

and climbed up a spider web.

A WHAT? A SPIDER WEB?!? EEW!

The we danced around and showed off our butterfly colors,

and even got to fly like butterflies!

How fun! You can check Resli's blog if you want to find out more about what all these things meant in terms of the life cycle of a butterfly, I just enjoyed the fun!
