On the 5th, we took a break from our labors at home and checked out the Monarch Fiesta Day at a nearby park. It was a celebration of the Monarch butterfly, and we had a great time.
They really did a great job of having activities for all ages. Olivia loved the little tube she could crawl through. The boys also enjoyed it.
They had some captive butterflies that you could go look at up close. They also had lots of caterpillars and cacoons, and every stage in between.
They were tagging and releasing butterflies every 10 minutes, so there were lots of opportunities to see butterflies up close. They look amazing - almost artificial.
They also had some dramatics for the kids to participate in. Harrison loved it. Noah was content coloring a picture with Dad.
The day ended with a catipillar race - they tied up the kids hands and feet and they had to wiggle their way to the finish line. Harrison won! It helped that he was the oldest in the 3-5 year old race, but he worked hard to win. His prize was a field guide for flowers, which he is really excited about.
It was beautiful weather, and such a great way to spend an afternoon. We'll definitely be going back to Black Hill Regional Park and Nature Center to visit again soon.
