A while back, Caden, Emma, and I were walking to the park and we found a caterpillar on the path. Caden was very interested in the "caa." So I decided to get some of our own to watch and see grow into butterflies. Here are some pictures of the caterpillars turning into chrysalids. Pretty cool process! After all my years of teaching and having butterflies in my classroom, I was actually quite surprised at myself for doing this again - since butterflies give me the creeps. (long story about a family vacation and a walk through a butterfly exhibit - yuck!) Anyways...here they are so far.
