Butterflys, Butterflys Everywhere

For New Years break we took the kids to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It cost WAY more for entry than we thought it would so we opted to just view their Butterfly exhibit.
Sure am glad Caterpillars never actually get this big.

Little bowls of nectar were conveniently placed all over for the Butterfly's to gather, and us to observe. The little orange ones were SO friendly. All the kids got to hold one that so kindly walked from hand to hand. They really tickle when they walk on you.

The blue ones weren't everywhere like the other colors. The iridescence was beautiful.

Aunt Marlene had a piggy back rider for more than 10 minutes. He liked the bright blue I guess.

These are called Paperwhites. They were my favorite. When they flew past they looked like tissue paper in the wind, so delicate.

Sicily tried to hard to get this one in my hand. She LOVED the butterflies.

The Owl Eyes were so pretty. On the tree trunk you couldn't even see them.
