As you all probably know, from my 365 pictures, we were growing butterflies.
They first came to us (on March 15th) as small little caterpillars...
They didn't move much at first and i was for sure, a few different times, that they were dead. But then finally they started moving and growing...

And then they just kept eating and growing...

Then they started going to the top of the container to get ready...

Then they all finally formed their chrysalis...
(This picture was taken on March 30th)
So it was time to move them to their Butterfly Garden...
(This picture was taken on April 2nd)
And then it was time to wait, until they were ready to emerge as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies...
(This picture was taken on April 5th)
All the kiddos were very excited to watch the butterflies emerge! They emerged one by one, until we had 5 beautiful butterflies in our Butterfly Garden!
(This picture was taken on April 7th)
After a few days of enjoying them, it was finally time to release them...
These pictures were taken today (April 10th)
It was such a great experience, that i'm sure the kids with never forget.
