Easter and Butterfly show




Monday, Bug was off school and I worked in the morning.  Once I finished up work, we picked up Mam and headed to the butterfly show.  This year the butterflies are from Costa Rica- so close to Guatemala.  I am missing Guatemala.

there were 2 waterfalls and blue morpho butterflies flying all over the area. 





There were some gorgeous Monarch butterflies feasting on nectar.

Then I found this incredible butterfly.  A malachite.  it hung out with me for 10-15 minutes, too cool.
 

this is the malachite with open wings
 

Mam was having a hard time walking.  She sat while we walked around looking for butterflies.  The blue morphos are never still, but one landed on Mam.


Finally, after years, I get a picture of a still blue morpho with open wings.  We learned that we need to wear khaki pants and a light blue shirt and the butterflies will come land on us.  Mam had on khaki pants
 



Bug got a monarch

bug was so proud to have this butterfly with him for a few minutes
 






he was not happy at this point


Bug learned to iron again- he is ironing fabric for his quilt

Bug got his own sewing machine.  One of the nice ladies at church gave it to him.

the haul of plastic eggs.  Since bug can not have most candy, he got money
counting up his loot of gold dollars
