We had PLANNED on going to the transportation museum on June 6. However, Brady was pretty sick. So, since he's not that fond of bugs in the first place, we decided to go the the Butterfly House this week. The girls are more into butterflies anyway (although Brady did give us a brave face earlier and say he'd "try" to go again). I LOVE coming here. It's so beautiful and you feel like you're transported to a whole different part of the planet. Inside the dome is an entire different ecosystem, set up like a tropical rainforest. It's so peaceful to see the butterflies landing on the flowers and to hear the waterfall....just gorgeous. Here are a few pictures we took of the place:

| The girls think if they stand VERY STILL and hold out a finger, a butterfly will land there. There are several pics with similar poses to this one. However, when a butterfly gets close, both recoil. I don't get it. :) |
After touring the Butterfly House and seeing all it had to offer, we had a picnic in Faust Park. We had a few duck visitors, despite our best efforts at shooing them away. Could it be that the children are natural crumb-makers when they eat crackers? Perhaps....
Following the picnic, we played in the park. The kids love playgrounds, and I love taking them there. Are you kidding me? Look at those sweet faces! How could you not do whatever they ask?!
