Releasing Butterflies


Many more of our butterflies emerged from their cocoons over the weekend. John got to check one out up close before it flew away.

One stayed on Layla's hand for a minute. Her beautiful orange wings were shaking a little a first. The kids told her not to be scared. "It's okay, you can fly away.", said Layla.

Grace reassured her friends, "This one will fly away to find his family."

Lena wasn't quite sure about letting a butterfly sit on her own hand but she enjoyed watching this one as it opened and closed it's wings before taking flight.

Ella thought this butterfly was "so beautiful".

Eli held this butterfly very carefully so he wouldn't disturb it's delicate orange wings.

Saige said goodbye before watching this one fly up, up, up and over the fence.
