Our Painted Lady Butterflies


This past Christmas, Garrett's sister Carrie gave Claire one of the coolest gifts: a butterfly habitat complete with live caterpillars and food. We watched in amazement this spring as all 10 caterpillars ate and ate and ate and finally formed chrysalides. The metamorphosis to the beautiful painted lady butterflies was truly a sight. Today, Collin and Claire released our "pet" butterflies in our front yard so they could live in our trees. Here are just a few of the photos of that event. Just check out the sheer joy and amazement in their faces. I love it!



Thank you Auntie Carrie for the best Christmas present EVER!
Love, Claire and Collin xoxo
