Chase and I have seen the commercials for Live Butterfly Gardens on TV for a while now and we always say we want to do that. Well we finally did!
I should have taken pictures through out the whole process, but at least you get to peek at the grand finale. Here's how it all went down....
We received ten catepillars in the mail about three weeks ago. We got to watch them get bigger and bigger and one day when we got back from a weekend trip, we had ten chrysalis'.
We moved our chrysalis' to the bigger home and waited about another week. I was in Chase's room one morning and noticed one of them was shaking. Chase and I got to witness a butterfly hatching from the chrysalis. It was totally amazing and Chase was in awe. He had so many great questions. Within 24 hours all ten of our butterflies had hatched and within a couple of days we let them go. It was such a cool thing to do.
