Butterflies, Tarantula's, and Rosie

The Butterfly Pavillion.

The coolest place:

( I took this pic...hard to get butterflies to be still long enough for a shot)

A room full of butterflies.... hundreds of them~

flying and flying around your head.

My kids loved it.

it was like a mini rainforest.

check out the pics I got of the butterflies

I went with my friend Ashley and her kids.

The first room:

spiders

second room:

starfish

third room:

butterflies.

The kids ran around the

butterfly room

for 2 and 1/2 hours!

They were in awe of how many butterflies were flying around.

the butterflies would land on their shoulders and fingertips.

Then there was a room full of the scariest looking bugs,

spiders, and cockroaches....

AND guess what I held???

Yup, that's my hand in the middle....

a

big, scary, hairy, black

T A R A N T U L A.

We all took a turn holding Rosie!
( I did it to prove to my kids I wasn't afraid but seriously I was so scared!!)

The kids had a great time.

We have had so much fun visiting all these cool, new places!

p.s Waterworld was amazing! We had a BLAST!

and inbetween my 2,997 errands getting ready for school, soccer,

back to school, shopping, haircuts...etc.

Our goal is to hit the pool EVERY day till school starts.

Even if it's for one hour! wish us luck!
