We ended up with 5 butterflies. One of the ones that I thought didn't make it, made it! We watched them for a day and then let them go. They came out one at a time. The last two didn't seem to want to fly away.  There was one butterfly on each of the boy's hands. DS2's butterfly finally took off, but the one on DS1 didn't want to go anywhere. It was alot of fun to get to watch this butterfly up close. DS1 didn't want him to fly away either. Finally, I encouraged him to put his by one of our butterfly bushed and let the butterfly crawl onto it. The butterfly did and after a little while it flew away. DS1 followed it for as long as he could. If I knew how to post pictures on my blog I'd show you, but I don't (someday I'll learn how to do that!). 

The homeschool convention was great. I really like what I will be using with the boys. There was a problem at our hotel so we each ended up with our room for the price of one room!  We had ice cream for dinner one night and did whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted!  We had fun!
