Katelyn and I have visited the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, CO a half a dozen times or so. On April 9th, we had the opportunity to go on a field trip with her class. The Butterfly Pavilion is an educational showcase for many types of insects, spiders, sea creatures, and well of course butterflies!! As you walk through the enclosed rainforest habitat, over 1,200 different types of butterflies fly around you and if you're lucky one might just land on you too!!! It's truly an amazing experience, one I enjoy every time we go!!

As I've said before, I feel very fortunate to live in a city full of fun things to do with kids! I'm sure this wasn't our last visit to the Butterfly Pavilion either;)
