Despite our many trips to the Durham Museum of Life + Science, we'd never made it for a butterfly release until today. The boys watched the staff member gather the butterflies...
Then they waited incredibly patiently for the butterfly keeper to place one on each of their hands...
It really was amazing to see them wait so long...
Grant's first one flew right over to Hayes' shoulder...
I've never seen such patience and gentleness from Grant. He had a clear-winged one that flew over to me next...
Then Grant and Dylan both got butterflies that didn't want to fly away...
We waited several minutes and snapped lots of pictures before the boys finally had to nudge the butterflies off onto some leaves so we could get going before Hayes got too handsy with the new butterflies.
So much fun! I was amazed how patient Grant & Dylan were with the butterflies. And so careful. :)
