Butterflies everywhere...

The favorite place at the Milwaukee Public Museum?
Was it the dinosaur skeletons? The European Village (with houses representing each country in Europe)? The rooms of prehistoric animals? The dioramas of the Artic, Asia, Pacific Islands, South America, the Ocean, etc.? No, it was the butterfly room.
We saw new swallowtails just emerging from their cocoons. There were butterflies of various types and colors flying around our heads or landing on us.
Alice transferred one to Connor's hand.

This took a few shots to get as the butterfly kept closing its wings. I love digital cameras! We tried and tried to get a butterfly onto Brenna's hand, but it usually flew just over her head.

After walking for hours, eating a picnic lunch, and riding home in a sun-warmed car, Brenna just couldn't keep her eyes open. Even with a half-eaten banana in her lap.

And so, Justin, I can post something besides snow...
