My sister Laura is in the midst of caring for 25 monarchs- from eggs to caterpillars to chrysalises and she graciously hosted us one morning last week so we could see her set up.
Even though it takes a lot of maintenance and patience, it definitely made me want to plant some milkweed in our butterfly garden next year!
It was a great opportunity to work on counting practice, crack open our nature journals and use Laura's butterfly guide to identify other butterflies we spotted in her garden. The girls loved getting the chance to carefully handle some expired butterflies Laura has collected and they even got to bring a few home. We were so grateful for this special field trip, thank you, Laura!
