Lady Bug Adventures!

 For Easter the kids got bug growing kits from Josh and I.  I thought it would be something fun and educational for the kids. Turned out it was for us adults also. We did enjoy watching them change from larvae, to pupa and then to lady beetles.  We still need to send away for our butterfly's... but look forward to that adventure also.

 Or lady beetles! We kept them for about a week before we let them go out by our rose bushes.

 It was a beautiful May day with all the flower starting to bloom in our yard.

 Saying goodbye to our lady beetles!  We had to coax them out of their cozy little home.

 FREEDOM!  We had a great time getting to know our lady bugs and look forward to raising some again one day.
