butterflies and the park

We participated in the Botanical Gardens butterfly tag and release with the kids. It was a really fun experience! 





After tagging our butterflies, we walked through the butterfly exhibit...

I love how red Claire's hair is in this picture!  I love this girl...





In another part of the Botanical Garden they had these wild sculptures on display - inspired by the paintings of the Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo...





 

After the Gardens visit - we all got shave ice at Bahama Bucks. :)





The weather has been finally cooling down and the kids were so excited to put on their sweaters and walk to the park one evening...





On the way home, Emma challenged Jake to a race - Jake started out cheerful...


But quickly realized that Emma is much faster so he wandered off and pouted...


And off roaded his way home...

  1. That's a neat botanical garden. Butterflies are so pretty.
    Those sculptures are interesting. My favorite is the third. It looks like a creepy devil.
    The videos are always appreciated. It's fun to watch the kids.
    Tell Jake that someday he will be bigger and faster than his sister. It usually works out that way. He just needs to be patient.
