Just Can't Get Enough (Butterflies)

Since we've been having so much fun raising our own monarchs, we thought a trip to the Butterfly House in Sioux Falls was in order. It was a bit hit, as always.

Josh and I had fun photographing the different species, while the kids concentrated mainly on getting a butterfly to land on them.

Waiting patiently ...

There it is!


This blue morpho made friends with Josh.




Some more colorful creatures:






The Butterfly House has recently added a beautiful collection of salt water fish tanks. Their stunning aquariums have it all: clown fish, anemones, tangs, triggers, a shark, cichlids, clams, and even sea horses.


And right beside the Butterfly House is a huge playground - the perfect conclusion to a day out.

It is so great how you guys always take the kids to fun places. Sebby is so cute watching the butterflies.
