We thought these looked like pickles.
We thought these looked like snakes.
Old Man cactus.
Lots and lots of butterflies!
Releasing butterflies. We happened to be in the butterfly pavilion when the lady announced we were going to be able to release butterflies. We released 12 butterflies. The kids thought it was great! The butterflies were born the day before in California and refrigerated to 60 degrees so that they don’t move in transport. They were then sent to Arizona for us to release. They came in wax coated envelopes and there were four in each envelope. We had to carefully tear off the end and open the envelope to let the butterflies out. Some of them were too cold to fly so we had to hold our hands under the envelope to warm them up.
Some of the butterflies we released.
Before we entered they had told us that the monarch butterflies don’t normally land on people but one landed on Paul’s leg. One landed on another lady’s head and Eve thought it was hilarious. She laughed so hard it made other people laugh.
Nate was trying to get a butterfly to land on him.
Trying to look like the cactus behind them.
The Chihuly glass plants.
