Butterfly Forest

Dear Connor,

When we went for a walk today, we saw a couple of beautiful black and orange butterflies flitting about in the air. As we walked further, we saw about a handful of butterflies, then more than a dozen and then we walked by what must have been a butterfly habitat because we were suddenly surrounded by about 50 butterflies! I had never seen so many butterflies at once in our neighborhood and it felt as if we'd stepped into a dream! One little butterfly even landed on your nose, which you found incredibly amusing. I wish I'd been able to take a picture. That once-in-a-lifetime image of your eyes lighting up--and crossing slightly--when the butterfly touched down on your nose and flapped its delicate wings was pretty awesome.


Love,
Mom
