Butterfly Beauty

It all started with a young boy....

A couple of caterpillars....

A Jar from Mama....

And this was the result.

The caterpillars ate and ate for a few days

the spun a cocoon.

After a bunch of days (around weeks I think) the young boy saw this....and proceeded to run around and excitedly tell the household of his new observation.

After watching the butterflies dry off...

The young boy put them on his finger.....

And sent them on their way....

And this is all he was left with!

And of course a great learning experience :)

Now fast forward to today....

This same (dirty) young boy and his (really dirty) brothers were playing outside....

And this is what they saw....

And the young boy and his family once again was reminded at the beauty of God's wonderful creation!

Here's a little video of it all....
