Butterflies

On Sunday, Jon and I went to see the butterfly exhibit at Meijer Gardens. I’ve been bugging Jon for over a year to take me to see them, but since they only come around in March and April I had to be patient. And it was worth it! The butterflies are in a huge green house that 80 degrees and humid….very different from the 40 degree weather outside!

Here is one of my favorite red ones.
There were butterflies flying everywhere.
I really liked this guy…he reminded me of Pancake.
There were a few huge blue butterflies…this guy is not as brightly colored as the other blue ones, but he is still pretty!
Me, looking fab….and really pale….but it is still only 40 degrees here, so give me a break.
Jon really loves butterflies…can’t you tell?
Here are some of them eating “butterfly food”…whatever that is.
Here is the blue dude again…with some fake turtles.

Another red guy.
