When I look at this picture of Ryan and Ruby, I like to imagine them covered in butterflies
Last night we went to see the BUTTERFLIES at Meijer Gardens. We paid $10 per person to attend the special "members only" event, I'm not gonna lie, we were disappointed. Here's why:- I had high hopes of getting a picture of Ruby covered in butterflies, but I could not. You see, the event was at night, so they weren't really flying as much as they do when it's bright out.
- Talk about crowded! The place was packed with wall to wall strollers and kids and parents all running around looking for butterflies. If I were a butterfly, I would have stayed high in the trees too!
- While we were there, we discovered that anyone can go see the butterflies anytime they want for free... during the day when it's not crowded and it's bright out... so I am confused why they promoted this special event for members as if it was the only way to see the special butterflies. Did I fall for a money-making scheme? Perhaps!
Anyone want to come along?

booooooooooo, that's too bad!!!! i have heard they are most active in early afternoon :/. as you can imagine, i have dreams of butterfly-on-children pictures dancing in my head, holding myself to the impossible expectation of photographic perfection. we'll see how it goes... :/ not holding my breath!
oh funny! yes, they're great during the day! They even land on the walkway - and even Zora could get into them. We've been a few times since they first came - there are more butterflies now than when they first opened the exhibit. Try again! We've gone in the morning and it's a lot less crowded & most people leave their strollers outside so there's more room to move around.
I DO I DO!!!! Really, I'll drive over and go with you guys!
I wish I could join you! It sounds so fun! Enjoy it double for me. :o)
