Would You Be Butterfly Bait?
We took the kids up to Branson, Missouri for our very first road trip with the whole family and I gotta say it was quite a success.While it was a lot more work, noisy and expensive...I can honestly say - everyone had a good time.
The Butterfly Palace was one of the last in a long line of museums we visited. If you are ever in that area...I think it's worth a stop!
Not only do they have over 1,000 butterflies all in one place, they have a great forest mirror maze, insect and reptile room and great gift shop!
While we were exploring all the different butterflies...I hear scream of terror - thinking that someone has fallen or at least been bodily injured - I turn to check out all of my children.
Turns out a butterfly is still a bug...and therefore Miss Maddy's worst nightmare.
While she was excited to have some great equipment to use - she was quite freaked out that the butterflies would dare to come near her.
With over 1,000 butterflies flitting around - you would think that some would have landed on us...but only 2 deemed us landing pad material.
I caught a picture of one on Hubby's shirt...and the other was set up for his blog post debut...but E decided to flip off his hat when he found out there was one on it.
Turns out that my kids are more "look at things behind glass" kinda kids.

Now that is what we call a fun day... Butterflies and all... I would be butterfly bait!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a cool place! We took the kids into NYC recently to visit the Museum of Natural History. They had a butterly conservatory but it wasn't there when we got there. It had just ended. The kids were so disappointed.
ReplyDeleteOh neat! Looks like a fun time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteI totally understand the "look at things behind glass" - as I am totally that sort of person, but still, it sounds like you all had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteI love how your little girl was using the magnify glass!

Looks like fun! Our zoo does a butterfly garden every summer and it is such a peaceful and relaxing place to visit. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun. Too funny she didn't want them near her.
