You can see the Venezualan Rose blooming, see how tall the greenhouse is!
Sophie had fun showing Craig around. He's in demand, I'm glad we had the chance to go see the butterflies while he was with us!
Taylor is so daring!
You probably can't see all the butterflies floating around in the pictures that well, but it was really cool to see them all over when you looked at the plants and when you looked above you. They even landed on people!
They order the chrysalis' from South America, Africa and Asia. The butterflies "hatch" within a couple weeks and as the butterflies' wings dry out they let them out of the "incubator" into the big tropical gardens. They have pots of nector for them to feed on and misters keep the gardens warm and moist. It was so cool being in this tropical garden with all these butterlies flying around and seeing the snow falling through the huge windows!
Taylor REALLY liked the carnivorous plants! He went back in there 3x's.

What a fun and interesting place. The pic of the kiddos with bug bodies is hilarious...I love the look on Sophie's face! I really love the Easter dresses and Katie's pig tails too! Great fun!
I love the Easter dresses...I guess I figured with General Conference I wouldn't get a dress, but maybe I should.
The picture of the three kids putting their heads in for the creatures is great--especially Taylor. It sounds like you have lots to do in Michigan!
Can't wait to see you guys! You're coming for Easter, right!? I just want to kiss Sophie's little face off!! The girls look beautiful in their Easter dresses!
