And Then He Was a Beautiful Butterfly





Kyle found a caterpillar about a week and a half ago and brought it in for the kids to see. Kaedyn had earned a bug box during the summer reading program and so we put the caterpillar in it along with some leaves. He ate and ate for about two days. And then suddenly hung himself from the lid. And within a couple of hours, turned into a chrysalis. Just over a week later, (yesterday), we had a beautiful butterfly fluttering about in our bug box. We took him outside to let him go. But he took his time and flapped his wings for a while. It was so neat to get to do that. I remember doing that as a kid but with a mason jar.
