Butterfly Festival!

Yesterday, Annabel went to visit butterflies in Plano. Of course, our camera battery was dead so these are pictures taken from our phones. Better than nothing!

At first, our cutie pie was a little cautious about getting up close and personal with the butterflies. She thought they were a tad unpredictable!

The butterflies were mostly monarchs. There were hundreds of them! So beautiful.

After a few minutes, she decides they aren't too scary after all and tries to get to know them a little better.

We had to be careful to keep an eye out for stowaways!

They seem to really like Chris. Not that I can blame them!

This one tickled my head.

This picture is actually blurry because my daughter wouldn't sit still, not because the butterfly was in motion.

They gave us little cotton swabs dipped in red Gatorade to attract the butterflies. So no, those aren't matches!

It was really fun watching them "eat" from those cotton swabs!

Annabel was really enjoying the whole experience.

Time to go! Annabel gives the butterflies kisses.

Cheers,
