We had a BBQ at my parent's house last night. The lilac bush is out in full bloom and the smell is just amazing. I couldn't believe all the butterflies that were fluttering around the bush. Sami was so excited b/c the butterflies were so big! She got her net and tried catching them, so she "could be a scientist and examine them closer". Those were her exact words! LOL I was able to take some pictures of them before Sami disturbed them.

Wow, awesome pics Jodi! We released the butterflies that we'd "hatched" in the classroom. Well, we got the caterpillars (which were just starting to make their cocoons) from the kindergarten class since ours didn't get shipped to us...anyway, the kids (and I) really enjoyed this whole process. It's a really great idea for a classroom!

Some of the schools that I supplied in had the butterflies in their classrooms. It was so neat to see!
