Painted Lady





For Mikaela's graduation from kindergarten, Nana gave us a butterfly garden kit. A few weeks later, our first caterpillar arrived - actually our first cocoons arrived - our caterpillars spun themselves into cocoons on their way to our home!

We waited and watched - and sure enough in a just a few days - our very own "Painted Lady" emerged!

She emerged on June 4th - how cool Mikaela thought as she herself emerged on July 4th!

We kept painted lady about a week, and on family night (with Aunt Ashleigh and Uncle Justin here to see) - we let her go.

She flew so high - so fast!
