The butterfly effect

We took the children to the Butterfly Garden recently and had a magical time. Hundreds of butterflies were moving through the air elegantly all around us.



Beautiful, aren't they?

Touching the butterflies is not allowed, but sometimes the butterflies come and sit on your hand (or head!) by themselves. We tried to persuade this little one after seeing the successful attempt of another little girl, but we weren't as lucky. We got pretty close though...

They also had some creepy crawlies. No need to be scared with such a big brother close to you.

The rest of the afternoon was spent at the beach, mostly making paper flowers and soaking up the sun. A lot of kids make these flowers and then sell them for sea shells.

We truly enjoyed this family day. A day of no worries. Wel, almost, I did managed to tear off the tiny ribbon that was holding up my dress. Where's a sewing needle and thread when you need it? The problem was solved later by using a rubber band to hold the pieces together. Maybe it'll become the newest fashion trend ;)
