A big thank you to Aunt Paulette and Uncle Carl for giving us a wonderful present. We now understand Metamorphasis and the kids can explain the life cycle of a butterfly. First our 5 tiny caterpillars arrived in the mail and within about 9 days got longer and fatter and spun coccoons! After only 8 days in their coccon they emerged and were beautiful butterflies. The kids told me we immediately had to go to Publix for flowers and fruit for the butterflies to eat. They had so much fun watching every day for the next stage or activity from our new friends. After about a week we took them outside and released them. One stuck around for about half an hour landing on our bushes and in our hands. It was a wonderful experience.
