The Queen’s Chronicles – Butterfly Release

Over the weekend Haisley and I had an outing to attend the Brazos Valley History Museum butterfly release. I had zero idea what to expect and received the tickets from some friends who were sponsors but you all know how much I love butterflies so I had to go. I’m recapping our experience with the Queen’s Chronicles butterflly release today.

The invite encouraged everyone to dress up for the event and thankfully my friend Holly always comes through with her trunk full of costume items! To say Haisley loved the butterfly wings is an understatement. Pink is her favorite and once she put these on they didn’t come off. Not even for bedtime!!

How I have never been to this museum with four kids of my own is beyond me. There were so many interesting things to see! We headed in for a few butterfly themed refreshments and of course face painting. There were also vendors providing crafts and additional education about the butterfly life cycle. Everyone was so nice!

When it was time, we headed outside to pick up our two butterflies. Thankfully I ran into some friends in line who were repeat attendees and they gave me some great pointers. The butterflies come in a folded envelope and once you open they wake up. Our first butterfly was eager and flew away before we really even knew what happened but our second butterfly was feeling a little dazed and confused. We sat with her while she enjoyed a little sugar from the orange and hoped we would eventually see her fly away.

Haisley wasn’t interested in holding a butterfly but she was interested in knowing all about her and asked lots of questions. She seemed reallly concerned with finding her eyes! This age is so fun and I love to watch her little mind work.

I love these sweet pictures and will treasure the memories we made releasing our butteflies. I can’t wait for our next Honey & Haisley adventure!
