Butterfly House

A new butterfly house opened up recently in Dallas and the kids and I went there last week. It was so quiet and peaceful and we walked around with a woman who worked there. Esther just took her hand and the lady told her all about the flowers and butterflies. Both of the children were fascinated by all the fluttering and flying. Suddenly, the peace was ripped to shreds by the arrival of dozens of middle schoolers, running down the paths and swatting at the butterflies with their clipboards, their chaperones trying unsuccessfully to corral them into a corner. Yikes! Nevertheless, we still enjoyed our visit.
