Butterfly Pavilion

Our first trip to the Butterfly Pavilion was very eventful.  

Chance loved looking at all of the bugs.  They have an entire section called the "crawl a see em" with different species of beetles, spiders, and bugs from all different countries.  

The high light of the "crawl a see em" is that they have a live tarantula named Rosie that you can hold.  Chance saw some other children holding the spider and he decided that he wanted to also.  

We waited in line.  

 We practiced holding our hands nice and flat, 

but when the time came....Chance changed his mind.  

Before I knew what was going on. this happened.  

ONLY for Chance and Savannah would something like this happen! 

After the tarantula, we decided to hit up the butterfly room. 

Savannah loved looking at all of the butterflies.  

My mom was in town for over a week so that I could study for my real estate exam.  It was so amazing to have her in town.  The kids loved having her around and we managed to fit a lot of fun times in.  

This is my favorite photo of the three of them from the week.  

 Savannah was so very interested in the fish.  

Chance was brave enough to touch a horse shoe crab.  I wish he would have found that courage a little closer to the tarantula :) 

We love exploring new things with these two little souls. 

They teach us something new every day.  

Now I know that I am brave enough to touch a spider, if you hold really still a butterfly will sit on you for awhile, and that horse shoe crabs actually feel just like touching a rock.  

Hmmm...I wonder what they will teach us tomorrow?
