When Scot and I were first married I was new to the area so we would always try to go out and see something new every weekend. I think we soon realized that we weren't going to be able to afford that...but it was fun while it lasted! One of the first weekends after we got married we drove to Denver and walked around the Butterfly Pavillion in Westminster. We had a blast spending the day exploring!
Scot with a tarantula! I wouldn't get near that thing! Yikes!
Sea Life!
A little butterfly in the bushes!
One landed on Scot's finger! I don't know why but that FREAKS me out. I did not want any of them landing on me! Most people would love it but for some reason...not me!
I think some of my fear of butterfly habitats comes from when I was a kid. There was this place called Marine World in Vallejo, California and we would go there when I was a kid and I just remember that one time we had gone in to the Butterfly Pavillion that they have. When you go to walk out they have these big plastic flaps in front of the doors, I am guessing to keep the butterflies inside when people leave and I was happily skipping along and ran through those flaps and was pretty happy about it until I realized that some nasty little kid had BARFED all over the flaps! Sooooo gross! So now every time I am in a butterfly place I think of that...and now you will too.

I forgot about the butterfly barf incident....thanks for reminding me.
Great, Jenny! You just changed my life forever -- and probably for the better. I have always just wandered through those flaps without a 2nd thought and now I will always be scouring the area for signs of barf. And telling the kids: "Remember how Aunt Jenny got barf all over her face? Watch the flaps before you go through!" How funny that you posted this. We're going to the butterfly pavillion on Saturday -- my first time -- with one of Christian's co-workers and his family. Should be fun!
