Would you believe this little butterfly landed in the garden at our house at just the time when Jace had his whole camera setup out and ready?


Well that would make for a great story, but that wouldn't be what yielded this photo. :) Instead, this photo was taken at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum here in Chicago. I don't think we had very high expectations for the museum, but we were pleasantly surprised. They had a nice children's tree house area where Lauren was able to slide, and she enjoyed playing at the water table and other exhibits. The highlight was the butterfly garden, which had hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of butterflies.

Best of all, our trip the museum was free! All the Chicago libraries stock a set of free museum passes that can be checked-out like a book. Unforuntately, they are hard to comeby, because they can't be reserved in advance and the staff aren't allowed to say when they are due back. Liz happened to be at the library as passes for several museums were being checked back in.
