A Morning At The Butterfly Place

We went to the Butterfly Place in Westford this morning with our friend Noah and his Mom.  It's yet another rainy day in Boston, and we needed to get out of the house.

When I went to Florida in March to celebrate Melissa's birthday, the woman who cared for the boys actually took them to the Butterfly Place.  I guess Gabe was afraid of the butterflies at that visit.  This time, he wasn't afraid, but he would wave his hand vigorously while yelling, "shoo" at them.  You're not supposed to touch the butterflies or the flowers inside the (very hot and steamy) butterfly house; but it was hard for Gabe and Noah to follow those rules.  Even Zach had a hard time, since he wanted to pull all of the leaves and flowers out of the garden beds.

All in all, it was a good time.  It's pretty fun to see the butterflies fluttering all around, and they are so beautiful.

Here are the pictures:

there's actually steam on my camera lens in this shot - that's  how warm it was


"shoo"

he looks so sad sometimes!
