New Life Tradition

Butterflies

We started the "tradition" last year of raising butterflies from caterpillars and releasing them (around) Easter. The boys (and I) love this! They excitedly get the caterpillars in the mail and then we raise them and learn all about their stages of life. It is such a neat time to learn about nature and how sometimes we take something not so pretty (the caterpillars are kinda gross looking') and it becomes beautiful! 

 This became part of our breakfast "routine" (eating cereal outside while watching to see if the butterflies would hatch).
