For Vivian's birthday present, we gave her a butterfly habitat and ordered the caterpillars to go with it.
The caterpillars are sent in the mail and come with all of the instructions for how to watch the process of becoming a butterfly.
Very cool idea and the girls have really enjoyed it so far! They check on the caterpillars every so often to see what they're doing.
They were babies at first, and we watched them eat and grow and move around in their cup.
Then on Sunday night we hosted a unity dinner at our house and it just so happened to be the time when we were supposed to move the caterpillars in their chrysalides (cocoons) to the habitat!
Perfect timing, because one of the guests was Stephanie, a chemistry professor at Roanoke College who does lab stuff all the time and was not squeamish about the job :)
I was glad to get rid of that cup because it was starting to look gross in there.
Go Stephanie! So glad you're doing this and not me! haha
Her assistant, Judy.
Yes, this is what unity in our church looks like. :)
Now we are just waiting for the butterflies to emerge!
