If A Butterfly Flaps Its Wings in Gainesville...

Today we went to the Butterfly Rainforest and had a wonderful time! The weather was perfect (I will never go there again in August!!) and both kids seemed to really get a lot out of it. They both were sick at the end of last week with croup, so today was a nice fresh-air outing. Hope you enjoy our documentation of the day... First things first, here I am VERY pregnant at 34 weeks...when are those babies going to come??
Lily and Ty taking a rest...
If I didn't have two kids with me and two on-board, I could tell you the species of this one...
A quick break with Daddy...
The Atlas Moth, which was as large as Todd's hand...
Hello Franklin...

Lily and a mammoth--they are HUGE!!!
The little gang...
I am pretty sure this is a Monarch, but you can correct me if I am in error...
Ty Ty checking things out...



This was the first butterfly of the day...
Mother Duck and her babes...

We were discussing what happened in the next picture...
That's a butterfly landing on Lily's hand--she was startled but thought it was neat...
