Bye bye butterflies

By this evening, we had five butterflies who really needed to stretch their wings and fly. The boys were a bit bummed that it was time, but they all came outside to say goodbye.

One would think that the butterflies would have flown out as soon as we opened the top of the container. They didn't. We had to coax them out. But the moment they realized they were free, they almost seemed happy. The boys got a kick out of watching then flutter off into the sunset.
