We dove into one last swim meet:
This summer brought more swimming than we've ever done in our lives and it was wonderful!
We live 20 minutes from a company that sells caterpillars and ships them all over the world. We've seen their ads on TV many times, but lucky for us they're so close that we can go see where they grow their caterpillars, butterflies and ladybugs. We picked up a few caterpillars and brought them home for our favorite summer science experience.
We watched our caterpillars grow and fatten up, change into chrysalises, and finally emerge as beautiful butterflies that we released into our backyard. Here's the gang with the butterfly house.
Brenna reaching in to pull out her butterfly.
Ava's stayed on her hands for quite a few seconds.
Then the butterfly surprised her by flying right into her hair.
Gwen just after releasing her butterfly.
Nate reaching in to pull out his.
He was lucky that his stayed on his hands for a few seconds too.
I still need to post a couple of pictures from our trip to Laguna Beach, but I've got to retrieve them from my phone and the morning's events are looming. Hi-ho, Hi-ho, it's back to school we go!
