Our caterpillars have changed to butterflies! It was amazing watching them wiggle from their tight little sleeping bags and stand there with full sized wings. They have monarch butterfly colored wings on top...very pretty. They drink sugar water. We are waiting now for the temperatures to be 55 or more 24 hours a day before we can set them free. (we don't think we will ever be able to let them go!) Thank you Andy and Colleen for bringing this science experiment to our Center. We have really enjoyed checking on them every few hours.
We went to the movie "Oceans" last Friday in celebration of Earth Day. Everyone was entranced by it, very beautiful!

Butterflies and tadpoles (and teenagers who become functioning adults)-- I don't think I will ever be too old to get over the wonder of it all. I am glad you enjoyed them!
