Butterfly house

Another Fair Park year round attraction is the Butterfly House at the Texas Discovery Gardens. The kids loved this, as well as just exploring the gardens themselves.

We walked from chilly fall weather into a rainforest full of butterflies.

Ellen and Jack did a great job of keeping track of which of the 30+ varieties of butterflies we actually saw.

Rose was fascinated with the emergence chamber, where the butterflies...uh... emerge from the cocoons they arrive in from all over the world every week.

The butterflies were literally everywhere. None actually landed on us, but I bet if we sat really still holding some ripe fruit they would.

So fun!
