Butterfly Day

This month Olivia joined Georgia in her Park Pals class about Migrating Monarchs. They learned interesting facts about local Lepidoptera, watched a tag and release of Monarchs, played games, and had a great time.

Today was Butterfly Day at the nature center, and the girls had a chance to share with us what they learned. They both were identifying the butterflies, and Georgia explained how to tell a Viceroy from a Monarch.


Here are some photos of our day...

Grasshopper Love

The girls have had a lot of fun catching grasshoppers this summer, and watching them change and grow. The last ones they caught they decided to draw before letting them go. They each had names, of course...

Olivia drew a picture of Grassy, Cutie, and Sand. (named for the sandy color on his back.) She added hearts to show her love for them...

Georgia drew a picture of Biggy...

I love her detail!
