Our Summer Visits - 2. The butterfly Sactuary

This Summer we went to Niagara falls for Matilda's birthday and for mine! WE HAD A BLAST!!!

For Matilda's birthday we went to the Butterfly Sanctuary, and 3 days before she turned 3 she learned how to say Sanctuary and Conservatory!!! She is so smart!!

 Before you go in to see the butterfly's there is a movie you have to watch telling you why it's important not to touch the butterfly's, but it is OK to let them land on you!!  oh man this is going to be so much fun!!!
 There is a few displays and pictures, along with a few fun little activities to do before you go into the big butterfly room, Matilda who is about to turn 3, just took a quick look at everything but was far more interested in going in to see the actual butterfly's, while her cousin Austin who is 5 took advantage of the fun learning activities they had!!


 we saw so many different kinds of butterfly's  all kinds of colors!!

        Matilda and her cousin Austin watching the butterfly's eat oranges!! If you look really close you can see that they have a big trunk like an elephant only it's more like a needle and they just stab it through the skin and drink their food!! It's really cool to see you should check it out!!
 Grandma had a Monarch butterfly land on her!!!  Did you know they hatch in Mexico and fly all around North America!  all the way through the USA to Ontario Canada, over to British Columbia, Canada, and then back through the USA and back to Mexico!! How interesting!!
 Grandma and Matilda's Favorite Butterfly and it landed on me!!! How lucky is that!! We never did figure out what kind it is, but it sure is beautiful!

  I bought this little telescope thing that distorts your vision when you look in it, it takes the coolest pictures when put up to a camera!
I also bought a bottle of butterfly nectar! It was tasty!!

What a fun trip this was!! and it was surprisingly cheap too!!

Thanks for reading!!
