Butterflies a d Roses

Today we headed to Tacoma Park to visit a garden with roses and a butterfly exhibit. We were all quite excited. Ellie made sure everyone was dressed with colors, but she was the one who wanted a butterfly to land on her most. 

I enjoyed smelling the roses and getting photos on the rose garden first. It was fun. Then once in the butterfly garden, some weren't that interested to stay very long, unfortunately. I thought it was very peaceful. 

The only one to et a butterfly was Max. This wasn't his choice, in fact I think h only appreciated it because Ellie was so jealous. This butterfly stuck to him like glue for nearly 10 minutes. We tried everything to transfer the butterfly to Ellie - her wearing the blue hat ad even having max sit on her lap. Unfortunately nothing worked. 

The day was a lot of work for me as a parent, I hope the kids had fun, but I'm not real sure. We tried.
