Yesterday the girls and I took a long drive, about 55 minutes, over to Navarre, FL to the Panhandle Butterfly House. They were releasing butterflies into their Vivarium (basically a hot, humid, green house of flowers) and the first hundred kids got to help release the butterflies. We got there just after ten because the posted schedule said they start releasing them at ten thirty but apparently they had detoured from the schedule for a school field trip. The girls were lucky....they got there just in time to help with the last of the butterflies. It was hot, humid, and fun. We left as sweat balls not even twenty minutes later but we had a grand time.
My camera battery died not even ten minutes in so my pictures are few. Note to self, make sure to charge battery before we do outings.
Tate absolutely loved releasing the butterflies. They just kept giving them to her. Remi was such a good big sister, helping Tate hold her hands the right way.
The Vivarium is pretty small. The fountain is the center and there is a brick path all the way around it...and that is it. So it is pretty crowded with more than say fifteen people in there. At least it is free. They do ask for support donations though. I bought some coloring books for the girls, all about butterflies of course, that they destroyed on the trip home.
