flutterbys ~

or so my children called them when they were small~

i love a conservatory!

i was so excited

when abbey suggested we take a trip

to cincy for the butterfly exhibition

at krohn conservatory

we picked a day through the week

when neither hub had to work

and the kids

were out of school

our thinking was

it wouldn't be as busy

through the week

wrong.......

lots of others had the same idea

but

it was a beautiful day

with plenty of

 flutterby's & flowers

there were real flutterby's everywhere!

how cute is she!

they landed on hats, faces, pant legs, purses

you name it, it had a butterfly on it!

and there were

paper ones 

and

plants shaped to look like flutterby's

 

there were even chairs shaped like butterfly's!

we were each given a little cardboard flower

upon entering that

you used to lure the butterfly's to you

so you could observe them closer

he held the flower so carefully

&

studied his new little friend

it was so fun to watch everyone

 they were having the best time!

connected to the observatory

is eden park

which offers a

beautiful view of the city

we enjoyed a picnic in the park

&

 took a stroll around the ponds

these two loved standing on the ledge

making their grampie nervous...*lol*

doesn't it look like if you stepped backwards

you would be a goner!

but

you wouldn't be

there's a flat area behind the ledge

but

still made the gramps edgy!

the deppens

 

the barkers

good food

good company

good times

thanks deppen family

we had a great day!
