Butterflies

My parents bought butterfly larva for us again this year. They arrive as little teeny tiny caterpillars, then we watch them make their chrysalises and then a few days later, they hatch into Monarch Butterflies. The kids really enjoy watching them and wait for them to transform. This year a couple of the butterflies had some damaged wings. It turned out really neat though because one of them stuck around the yard for a few days. He became Mia's friend!
