We celebrated all things butterfly at the
Powell Garden Butterfly Festival.
This picture was taken just shortly before Jack's butterfly peed on him. Yep. He looked confused and asked the naturalist "um did it just..." Yea. We also learned about the sex life of these beautiful monarchs. If you are a monarch born in time for the migration you live 9 months. And winter in Mexico. But if you are born in the spring you get to mate. And well it takes a lot out of you and you don't winter in Mexico. But you do have a wild two weeks.
This is just not something you see every day. This insect specialist let these newly hatched butterflies perch on his beard and face while they "dried."
And here is something you
definitely don't see everyday. President Lincoln made an appearance at the Battle of Lone Jack commemoration. Earlier in the day he was dressed to the nine's with the top hat and all. But we caught him
eating a burger and a Pepsi later in the day.
