Butterflies and More Butterflies

For our final adventure before Peter left for college, we went to the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It's a gorgeous garden where one can walk on the spiral staircase with butterflies fluttering everywhere. The plant species are as colorful and unique as the butterflies. 

Many kids were also there, and Peter would say I blended right in. We weren't allowed to touch the butterflies, so for awhile, I walked around with my arms held up in front of me like a zombie so that maybe a butterfly would get tired and land on me. Unfortunately, I wasn't green enough and all I got out of my efforts were some smiles from the people around me, which wasn't bad at all. :)

One landed on my hand right before we left!
