Fly Away Butterfly

Our Butterfly Release

We were all so excited when four of our caterpillars made it to the final stage of their life cycle, but that also meant it was time to say good-bye.  It would be hard, especially now that they all had names!


Flower, Flyer, Lizzy and Buttercup


Luckily, the weather was perfect, so we gathered our preschool friends outside in the play yard to let our beautiful butterflies go. 











The munchkins noticed immediately how eager the butterflies were to be released.  The minute they were in the sun, they spread their wings wide and floated to the top of the canopy.  It only took a few minutes after unzipping the top before two had found their way up, up, and away!

Good-bye!


The third one stayed around for a bit after finding his way out of the canopy. 


 The munchkins followed him around as he landed on flower after flower, but it wasn't long before he, too, was up and away. 


We tried to catch him, but it was no use!


It took a while for number four to go. 

He needed a little nudge and then...


Good-bye!


Notice the little crossed fingers? 
We wish them all well...


Until next time...
Giggles,
Mrs. D.
