Future Painted Ladies!

While on our trip to Texas, we visited a wild flower farm that had an amazing butterfly garden!  The boys were able to walk through it and were having a blast trying to keep up with all of the beautiful butterflies!  For some reason, they loved Luke's hair and kept landing on him.  One of the guides showed the boys the caterpillars and chrysalids and explained the process of becoming a butterfly!  Logan was in awe and Luke just wanted to catch the butterflies and play with the caterpillars!  They loved it so much that we purchased a butterfly habitat and sent away for some live caterpillars!  It only took a few days, but the boys loved to watch them make their way to the top of the container and form into chrysalids!  We moved them just this morning to the habitat and are not-so-patiently awaiting the emergence of butterflies!  Here are a few pics of our habitat!  If you are interested, you can order a habitat and learn lots about them from http://www.insectlore.com/!
