~The Butterfly Musuem~

Last week I took the girls to the butterfly exhibit inside the Houston Musuem of Natural Science with playgroup. It was so neat! We first started out looking at different insects, caterpillars, and butterflies hatching from their cocoons. The girls had fun looking around at all of the cool stuff. Then we walked out into the actual butterfly habitat and butterflies were every-where! There so many different types of butterflies and they were beautiful! They were flying all around us and landing on trees, flowers and feeding stations all throughout the habitat. The girls took butterfly guides with them through the exhibit and could identify which butterfly they saw with the guide. The butterflies were all so beautiful! Sydney kept pointin at them all around her. One butterfly even landed on Riley's bow in her hair and Jayda thought that was so cool! There was also a big iguana in the exhibit named "Churro" that Jayda wanted to take home and keep. Uh, no thanks Jayda! There was also a pretty waterfall in the exhibit for the butterflies to enjoy. After we walked through the "rainforest" we finished off looking at preserved butterflies. They were so pretty. At the end of the tour they had a play area for the kids so we had to play in there for a little bit, of course. Such a fun thing to do and so cool!
