Butterflies

Today, we went to the Butterfly Pavilion near Denver where they have butterflies in a botanical garden setting.  They also have some sea life and insects.  I held a tarantula.  I will do anything to get a sticker.  The kids liked the butterflies for a while and then they started to freak out.  Too many flying bugs will freak out anyone after a while I suppose.  Some of those bugs were bigger than some birds I have seen.  I think Katie was looking for a net.

 Erik was a little disturbed.

Tonight, Erik made a duplo creation he was really proud of. It was a water and coffee dispenser. He wanted to pose by it.

 There was a trail outside with a lot of prairie dogs.  They were all pretty fat from eating leftover lunches from all the school field trips.
