BUTTERFLY DAY

wow...today was suuuch a great day...kpp and i went to see the BUTTERFLY SHOW!!! at the krohns conservatory here in the city...

well ill just go through the day...you know i took lots of pictures...

....after having a late lunch we had to wait for the bus to take us over to the conservatory...



well after getting on one bus...i found out we had to get on another bus...but kpp couldnt hang lol so he fell asleep....


i knew i would have to wake him when we got there...i thought he would be really cranky...BUT....HE WASNT!!...to my surprise!...so i was happy...i think it was all the little kids running around trying to catch butterflies that got his attention....

once we made it inside...there were butterflies flying everywhere...i donno but i guess i had a different idea of what it would be like....basically it was a greenhouse with butterflies flying around lol...i thought it would be more hitek or something...but i guess you really dont need everything to be hitek all the time...just flowers and butterflies....a perfect combination....

we walked around a bit and watched butterflies land on kids hands...none would ever come to either of us lol...i guess we dont have enough sugar in our blood lol...but it was really cute to see kids interacting with the butterflies...







we went in the butterfly nursery..this is where all the babies are born..



kpp and this little boy hit it off really good and they were chasing each other around...and trying to catch butterflies...



after being TOO hot in the butterfly section...we walked around to some other sections of the conservatory...

the first section was the orchid garden...i loooove orchids...i donno but its something about that flower that makes me smile...the orchid garden is soooo nice...i had to snap some pics...THEY ARE JUST AMAZING FLOWERS!






then there was another section...i cant remember the actual name...so we will just call it the "rainforest".....

when we came to this waterfall...i thought of the movie...lion king 1 1/2...the movie we watch almost everyday lol...

then we came across these two strange flowering plants...ive never seen anything like it before...



we were almost finish...no tantrum...no crying...UNTIL!...i wanted to take one last picture lol and he was NOT having it lol...he was TIRED and HOT and READY TO GOOO!!!!

so needless to say...WE LEFT!!! QUICKLY! LOL

awwww...today was such a good day..ive dreamed of having special times like this with kpp...i cant wait til he is alittle older so we can talk about what he sees...we have little conversations lol but without words now...i guess i shouldnt rush him..he has grown up sooo fast...these last past 15 months have flown by....but you know...

IM LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!!...

and days like this..makes me love them even more!!!
