Mothers' Day and Butterflies!

Our day of celebrating Moms provided sumptuous treats and our release of  butterflies we have raised from Caterpillar and Chrysalis stages to Painted Lady Bufferflies.  With the emence help from Alesya Lubin and Jill McDowell as primary caregivers, we skipped the usual outdoor coffee hour and hoped the weather would allow the butterflies to be launched  to live out their life cycle breeding and laying eggs that will begin the growth stages for another life cycle to begin. Enjoy these photos that include an added project of creating origami butterflies as gifts to moms on this special day!
