townsend, ellory and i went to the butterfly pavilion last week along with kate, andrew, and ethan redden and renee and corban gross. it was fun. first, we went in a room with various types of spiders, roaches and such. in cages of course. i still don't know why the people who run this place would think anyone would want to see hundreds of roaches. yucho! there was a tarantula that the kids could touch and ethan was very brave to let it walk across his hand. my kids had no interest. whew! next, we went to a room with some sea creatures. fish, starfish, hermit crabs. the kids touched the starfish-see picture. but i think they more enjoyed putting their hands in the cold water. last, we went into a sanctuary with hundreds of beautiful butterflies. they were so colorful and very friendly. the picture of townsend ducking his head is when a butterfly tried to land on him. they were both pretty scared of the things. ellory found all the water puddles. the area is kept at a constant 70 degree or so temperature and 80% humidity. i felt like i was back in austin again. glad we went.
