one of the butterflies at the butterfly place

Sophie and Mommy went to the Butterfly Place in Westford, MA today, foolishly thinking it would not be busy at 10 AM on a Tuesday....unfortunately, a few elementary schools decided to drop by. Nonetheless, Mommy and Sophie got to see many beautiful butterflies, lots of pretty flowers, a few flightless fowl (Mommy could not read the sign that designated the species since there were too many small children in the way) and even a few coy in a tiny fish pond. Sophie really liked it, especially the part where the butterflies fly all over the place right and even right in front of one's face! She also liked seeing all the kids there, even if they did make Mommy feel a bit clausterphobic (spoken by a woman who has been in some VERY narrow caves..i.e., a secondary burial cave dating to the Neolithic at the Atapuerca complex that involved essentially falling down a pit about the same diameter as Mommy's body).

afterwards, in the parking lot, commemorating that we were actually at The Butterfly Place
