Caterpillar hunting

On our Sunday family walk after church, we went up to the canyons to look for caterpillars. Jay remembers catching one when he was a little boy and watching it grow to a pupa and then to a butterfly, and we thought the girls would enjoy watching the transitional period also.  The girls loved looking at the leaves and trying to spot the caterpillars and we found several!  We safely put them in a jar and when we came home, Jay made their new home using an old screen door while we all drank homemade orange julius.  We are hoping they’ll all survive and transform into beautiful butterflies!
