Wings of Fancy



Yesterday we went to the Wings of Fancy butterfly exhibit at the Brookside Gardens and took Kai and Zara with us. The kids loved it and as you could see from the video the butterflies liked Zara as much as she liked them.

Here are some pictures I could not help but post. First are some butterflies that weren't in such a hurry, camera shy or were dining.

A couple landed on Brandon. One of them just simply refused to get off for a while.



This green butterfly was quickly moving its wings but I got lucky when I snapped a picture of it at the right second(literally) when the wings were open. It's kind of camouflaged with the green leaves behind it but I still think it looks awesome.

We stopped to take pictures by this huge log. Yes....Brandon is a spider-monkey.

Jude surprisingly went all out for his pose. He started by lifting his t-shirt up then positioned his hands and leg like so. Yah Jude likes to show off his tummy a lot. I can't wait till he's a teenager trying to show off his abs to all the girls. That'll be fun.


And last I thought the children's wish area was too adorable! 'I wish there were more banana trees' is my favorite.

We ended up going there just a few weeks ago and had a great time. The only down side was that Lily was scared of the butterflies. She'd start screaming if she saw one heading in her direction! Glad the kids you were with did better. :)
