Butterflies

We recently let our butterflies go. We raised them from tiny caterpillars. They grew to be a couple of inches long and then cacooned themselves. The kids loved them. Their friends loved to come visit them, too.

Emerging from a cacooon.

Letting them go. Most of them stopped to say goodbye before flying away. The last one, was reluctant to leave. I think it must have been the youngest one who hatched a couple of days later than the rest. I hope they all survived!
