He Came OUT!!!

Do you remember this  http://mymixofsix.blogspot.com/2009/09/monarch-butterflies.html?  Well, he came out this weekend.  He actually made his appearance on Friday when all the kids had their friends over for playdates.

They migrate to Mexico.  We were curious to find out how long it takes them to travel and how far they can fly in a day.  We went to the good old internet and found that:

“We can learn from tagged individuals. One tagged monarch was recaptured 265 miles away from where it had been released the previous day!”

Isn’t that amazing!

We sure enjoy watching the whole process.  Thanks again Mom for finding them for the kids!
