Yesterday we went on a wonderful trip to the butterfly house, in Haga park (the Royal family’s ‘garden’).
It was so very nice!
Alfie took his bike to practise..
He and I observed the beautiful lupins…
…before we entered the house…
There were other creatures there among the butterflies, such as fish, tortoise, frogs, bugs, and birds..
Set in a gorgeous ‘rainforest’ type environment, it wasn’t long before we spotted some huge cocoons..
…and some slightly smaller ones lined up on sticks….
This was amazing – you could literally see the butterflies coming out of the cocoons before your eyes – even Ted was able to grasp this concept, after many hours of reading the ‘Hungry Caterpillar’!
And of course, many many butterflies, flying all around us…
Afterwards we had a long look at the amazing new shark tank, where Leon and I listened to a talk, while the others got lunch ready…
..and after lunch, a long walk in Haga park, past the copper tents…
..and on our way…
Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery around this time – but not before I could take a photo of each and every one of my gorgeous brood… ! π
Leon…
Maya…
Alfie…
..and Ted…
A wonderful day ! π
