Ruthie sent us home with a caterpillar the last time that we visited her. Actually, she sent us home with two different jars of caterpillars. The other jar of caterpillars didn't make it. :( However, this caterpillar's life cycle was amazing to watch. He has been in his cocoon for a few weeks and decided to come out on Saturday. This time we were excited to discover that this really was a butterfly, unlike Otis, who was just a moth!
After Charlie's wings dried we sent him on his way! He was so beautiful and Kamdyn was amazed again as she sang, "Butterfly, Butterfly, fly, fly away!"
By the way, Pop Pop named him Charlie!
