Butterflies!

Aunt Becky sent us a butterfly garden.  The boys were so excited!  She also sent a fantastic book that explained how it was going to work.  First we sent away for our caterpillars.  Then we watched and waited for them to get bigger and make their chrysalis. Then we had to wait for them to come out as butterflies.  We kept our butterflies for a couple of days and feed them sugar water and apples.   We had five butterflies so each of us named one.  Our butterflies were named Fred, Flutter, Red, Dinosaur butterfly and Glitter. Then we let them go out in the backyard.
