Growing Butterflies! FINALLY!

Grandma Susie bought me this awesome butterfly kit for Christmas but we haven’t had the time to commit to the growth cycle until now. We ordered the caterpillars a few weeks back and then had been living in two 8oz cups on my bookshelf (away from the cats and Emmerson). Finally after eating and growing to several times their size when we got them… they climbed to the top of the cut and hung outside down and then turned into chrysalises. Mommy and Daddy helped me pin the paper discs to the mesh habitat. then we hung it in the living room out of reach of the cats and Emmerson!

I check them every day. Mommy said it will be a week or more until they become butterflies! I am so excited!!!

Animal Kingdom Get-A-Way before VPK

As always I enjoyed petting the goats and sheep. I really like to brush them.

I tried to show Emmerson it wasn’t scary but he wanted no part of it!

After a fun morning of animal hunting and viewing we went over to Downtown Disney for fun in the fountains! 🙂 I made some new friends. We had a nice time playing chase. I kept slipping in my neon green shoes…I even got a small boo-boo on my knee.

So much fun chasing water! 🙂 I love to be soaking wet! I thought it was really funny to see Emmerson get blasted in the face over and over with water.

My First Baseball Game… FINALLY!

We decided to go to a baseball game tonight because the weather was really nice, mid 80s! Plus there are only a few weeks left for the Threshers (Phillies minor league team). They have this neat playground at Brighthouse Field! We played for a while since we got there early.

These spinning things had dinosaurs on them! COOL!

We hung out for a bit in our seats and had our free dinner.

The stands were still pretty empty. I guess they never really did fill up. Most people probably thought the game was off because of the rain today. We were just outside the first base… only two rows in! AWESOME SEATS!

I was being a total goof in the seats. After the first inning Daddy took me to go play on the berm.

Emmerson and Mommy soon joined us! E and I went rolling down the hill… over and over and over.

I got tired and cranky.

Emmerson felt he needed to lay down with me and throw a pretend fit.

My shadow! 🙂

He then hugged me trying to make me feel better.

We all day a nice time and will surely go back. For $25 it was an awesome deal. Maybe next time Mommy and Daddy can see a little of the game!!!!
