Brookside Gardens - Wings of Fancy Butterfly Exhibit

First visit to Wings of Fancy for Rebecca - eating on the butterfly chair


Scott and Macall at Wings of Fancy Butterfly Exhibit!


Daniel LOVED the butterflies. He was running around the entire time squealing and laughing. He loved it when the butterflies landed on him and he could see some of the types of butterflies he has learned about in his book. Pure happiness for Daniel - priceless for Mommy and Daddy.


Our niece was fascinated with all the butterflies.



Macall could not be any more adorable.


Scott took some awesome shots of all the butterflies while Michael took video of Daniel.



Look at the butterflies :)




Macall and Erica




So happy



Look - a butterfly on the ground (I am happy to report that Daniel did not step on any butterflies this time)





Yes our new SUV can hold 4 adults and three kids in car seats. Macall got a little wind blown on the ride until we cranked the air conditioning. Macall and Daniel sat in the back laughing, singing, playing and goofing around with each other. It was adorable.

Uncle Scott playing with Daniel. Daniel calls him Silly Uncle Scott and loves him to pieces.

Early morning with Callie and Daniel


At home: Michael bought Daniel live caterpillars who are now in their chrysalis stage. Michael transferred them to netting cage so that they can hatch into butterflies. Daniel is so fascinated by all of this - it is awesome how much he knows about butterflies.

Aunt Erica is Daniel's super special Aunt who spent a lot of time with him in the pool today!!!!

Daniel was so happy to get out in the pool this afternoon - he would have stayed there right through dinner if he could.


We had a wonderful trip to Brookside Gardens - Wings of Fancy Butterfly Exhibit. I feel like I saw even more butterflies than I did last year. Daniel was jumping around and so happy the entire time - pure little boy joy. Rebecca slept through the whole exhibit of course. Macall really liked the butterflies and seeing them fly around. What a wonderful day with the kids.

It was so wonderful to have Scott and Erica here all weekend. Macall loves baby Rebecca and had so much fun with Daniel. Daniel loves his cousin Callie and they are so cute together. Our family is the best (and they let me take 2 much needed naps).
