Monarchs

I was excited about seeing the Monarch the other day.  However, after a friend of my daughters had posted pictures of caterpillars on Facebook the other day.  Today a friend sent an email out about looking for the caterpillars and watching their process.  I thought we need to do this again this year.  We had done it a couple of years ago.  What an awesome experience to watch this process.  I truly encourage you to do it with your kids… or yourself.  We truly have an awesome Creator!!!

As usual, watch for my pictures forth coming.  I will be capturing each moment as we go.

I do apologize for the picture quality.  It was sprinkling and I didn’t want to get my camera wet.  She was most excited!  As was I!

We ended up with 6 caterpillars. monarch 008

This one is an itty-bitty thing.  monarch 011

You kind of can see the difference in the sizes of these two.

Once we got them home, I made a quick habitat for them.  Don’t worry, you will find them in the stores before long!  lol  Hey, it works!  ;o)  Actually, if you look and see the little green spot in the back of it, it has a little flip open door so that we can put in fresh leaves and take out what we don’t need, etc.monarch 023monarch 027

I’ll keep you posted!
