We started out the school year by getting some caterpillars, watching them grow, form chrysalises and then turn into beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies. The kiddos had a ton of fun reading books during that time about the life-cycle of a butterfly! We even took our butterflies out with us one day to shop and hang out at the library. There was only ONE cocoon left and we didn't want to miss it breaking free (like we had all the rest). However, it seems like our butterflies like their privacy and the last butterfly came out in the middle of the night! We were sad that we missed it but we had a lot of fun none-the-less!
