A trip to the Butterfly Garden with my kids

There were thousands, but rarely did you get a chance to catch them on film

Awesome THanks for sharing

I really enjoyed the day out after being a shut if for almost 3 months, It was to beautiful not to share. I only wish that you could see the thousands of butterfly flying all around you. It was a great treat that the kids did for me. But it is not over yet, I am being taken out to have a Japanese Dinner tonight, This old man is really getting a workout today. If I am not on the board later this evening, it will be because I hit the sack early.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos. So glad you got to spend the day with your kids. That means so much!!
Enjoy. I am not a "shut-in" but feel like it sometimes, so I can relate to how this must have felt to you.
Blessings to you and your children.
