Every year for the last couple years, my mom has given my girls caterpillars to grow and turn into butterflies. We keep them in a net basket on our bar and watch them go through all the stages from caterpillar to butterfly. After they have hatched out of their chrysalis, we feed them oranges and let them get their wings stronger for about a week. On a non-windy day, my girls take them to a big open space and let them go. They took a few friends with them this year to release the butterflies and the butterflies started landing on their hands and shirts! They love this amazing tradition!
