The Butterfly Center

This past Saturday, we spent the rainy morning exploring the Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Lia has been sick for over a week and finally showed some signs of improvement, so we decided to get out of the house for a little adventure. Ella now has Lia's cold, so she stayed home with Mimi. Although we missed Ella, it was nice to have a little one on one time with Lia.

Lia had a great time learning about the butterflies, then walking through the "butterfly garden like Dora does." : ) We even made a pit stop at the gift shop on the way out and got 3 great books about ladybugs and butterflies that have been mandatory reading at bedtime every night since!

Wow! Surrounded by butterflies in the garden












My sweet angel in the butterfly garden!

We had a great time watching Lia explore and get so excited about it all! It's so much fun to see things through the eyes of a child. I am blessed to get to do it so often with my precious little daughters : )
