This was a great experience. Nate says he appreciates “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” much more now. It’s pretty much how things work. I didn’t realize it would be so fast either. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again during Ben’s K year. 🙂

  1. We kept them all alive, except Nate thinks he dropped an orange slice on one of them so Hannah has been praying for the butterfly that ‘daddy squished’. Hehe. It was still alive though.
