A butterfly surprise

One day we were all walking around the flower gardens seeing what interesting things we could find. The butterfly weed was in full bloom and especially pretty so we had a closer look.
Although this photo doesn't show it, there were MANY monarch caterpillars crawling all over it...munching away on the leaves.

For several days, we watched them grow. It is amazing how fast they grow! One day, we saw this: Then, a few days later...

Can you see its wings?! Wow. I thought this was incredible. I thanked God for showing us something so beautiful that we could share with the boys.

Then...the finale!!
