Butterflies!

Today was all about the butterflies. The original plan was to go with my favorite niece and nephew (and their Mom) to see the butterflies and the Omnitheater theater at the Science Museum of Minnesota, but one of the kids got sick (and this aunt draws the line at vomiting children), so they had to stayed home. As the tickets were non-refundable, I twisted my Mom’s arm to go with me. She was not overly thrilled to go, but she was a good sport about going, which was good as the museum was crazy busy with tons of people and kids. Our first stop was the Butterfly House to see the live butterflies and it was hot, humid, smelly, and loud due to yelling kids. It was fun to see all the butterflies and have them flying all around you and on you, but it was also very sad that you never see that many butterflies in the wild anymore. Then it was off to watch the Omnitheater film ‘Flight of the Butterflies’ which is about the monarch butterfly migration. It was a good film and we had a fun time with the butterflies.
