For our homeschooling unit we grew and studied five Painted Lady butterflies. Ada waited patiently for the caterpillars to change into chrysalides and then finally emerge as butterflies. We enjoyed them indoors for a couple days then set them free. The first one fluttered quickly out of the habitat and away but Ada was able to gently handle the remaining butterflies.
Lots of Ada close-ups and a few iris photos thrown in :)
We had a busy end of year in 2015 and I finally got some posts up. I post-dated them so they would be in chronological order for my sake. Unfortunately they don’t show up in feeds because of last year’s dates.

We had a nice, but extremely short 4 day visit with my parents. The last full day together was spent walking around Fairhaven. I forgot my camera, so I just have a few from my phone but it was a gorgeous day (80’s)! Had lunch at Avenue Bread, walked along the boardwalk, then back for Acme Ice Cream. We ended the day feeding chickens at a beautiful garden nursery. The chickens roam freely and the nice ladies give the kids chicken feed.
The first few pictures are launching the water bottle rocket at the park with some friends after Ruby’s birthday party. We got it to go pretty high and the kids loved it!
