Butterflies Alive

Harrison and Riley on their way to check out the butterflies


Finally a butterfly came to play with Harper!


Harrison's favorite "byue buffeye"

Quietly waiting

Goofing around and posing as butterflies


I haven't been to Butterflies Alive at the SB Natural History Museum since probably 2000 and it was SO much more fun to take kids!  The butterfly exhibit itself is wonderful - peaceful, quiet, lush garden with tons and tons of butterflies everywhere.  Harrison, Riley and Harper had a blast exploring and patiently waiting for the butterflies to land on them.  They ran all through the museum grounds, dutifully posed for pictures, threw bouncy balls all over the place and my favorite, tried to talk the taxidermy bears, elk, deer, seals, otter and more out of their glass case ("get out ammulls" in Harrison's words).  What a fabulous afternoon with some of our favorite people!
