Butterfly Garden

My mom was in town for the week and we decided to go to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Tempe.  I love glass art so I was very excited to see all the work that Chihuly had done for the gardens.  When we were looking online to see how much tickets cost, we found out they also had a butterfly garden exhibit.  We decided to take Mckaley's butterfly wings along with us.  The butterfly exhibit was nothing short of amazing.  There were hundreds of butterflies flying all about.  What was really neat was that the butterflies would just come right up and land on you.  Mckaley wasn't quiet sure of what to make of that, but she seemed to find it fascinating when a butterfly would be in my hair or on my mom's shoulder.  They even gave all of the kids this little board to track what types of butterflies they saw as they went along.  (PS:  Look at my lefty!!!)  Mckaley's wings were a also huge hit.  The older crowd especially like them!  Thanks for taking us on such a great trip mimi!
