STL Sarah, her two smallish children and I went to the Botanical Garden's Butterfly house last week. Unfortunately, it isn't by the Botanical Gardens. It's a little drive away which is why this was my first visit there. The butterfly house is the perfect climate for butterflies, about 90 degrees and 90% humidity. As beautiful as it is, you don't want to hang out there for too long.
Mr. J was far more fascinated by the water features than he was by the butterflies. Miss G just wanted the butterflies to land on her. Desperately. She stood still with her finger out like a perch, and they still didn't come. In St. Louis magazine, a butterfly house volunteer said that the butterflies tended to land on really calm, quiet people. That did not describe our group.
The blue morpho was my favorite butterfly.
We played on the wonderful playground next to the butterfly house for a while. Then we went to lunch. A pretty great day.
