Pictured above:  Hallie had received a butterfly kit in the mail from her grandpa.  She and Rylie had the best time watching the butterflies hatch.  She wanted to catch one shortly after the release while the butterflies were flying around us. I doubted that would happen, but she just sat down, picked up an orange slice and waited.  In time, a butterfly landed and paused before flying away.
