Exciting day today!

We arrived to see two of the chrysalis had turned black and we know that means they are ready to wake up and stretch their new wings!

Can you see the wings all wrapped up in there?

Low and behold, by lunchtime we had two beautiful butterflies!

They usually come out earlier in the day and we would release them the same day, but these two came out late. We will tag and release them first thing tomorrow morning. They gotta go, gotta go, gotta go to Mexico!

We brainstormed some names and then had a vote.

(Learning about tally marks!)

Since there are two, we each had the chance to vote twice.

Welcome Sparkles and Gemstone! You will fly tomorrow!
