Yesterday’s weather was nice enough to go somewhere fun, but not nice enough to do something outside.


(I’m actually playing the iPhone app known as Cupcakes! but pretend, if you will, that I’m checking the weather or looking up fun things to do.)


Little sis had a great idea: Butterflies!


See this right here? It’s Rosie the tarantula.


Little sis gets to visit tarantulas too, but only the ones behind glass.


That’s no tarantula! It’s also not a bumblebee, even though bumblebees are Zoe’s new favorite. She calls them BUBBLEDEES.


I taught little sis how to do crayon rubbings in the back room.


She listened attentively …


… and totally got it!


This is good stuff.


Some person–she cared way more about bugs than anyone else–showed up to do Story Time.


Little sis was mostly just interested in coloring.


I taught her this concentration-enhancing move.


It works!


Zoe learned to walk only a few weeks ago, so she’s not ready for the spiderweb like I am.


See that green dot? Tarantulas live there.


Ayup.

Zoe needed to break in her new crawlShoes in the living room, so Dad and I headed out to the Butterfly Pavilion together.


This is my friend Rosie, of course.


Dad and I agree that she’s like a puppy, but smaller …


… and with more legs.


She sure likes it when I pet her like a puppy.


After a nice visit with Rosie, I went into the butterfly area to do some research.


I used my ‘noculars and Dad used his camera.


He got only one today.


Yep. That’s a butterfly.


But just one.


Dad kept asking me to look through the correct side of the ‘noculars …


… but I wasn’t interested.


Yep. Butterflies.
