Visit with Ryan & Jackson/Butterfly Museum

I took the kids up to visit Ryan and Jackson yesterday. Larry was away and Erik spent the day out on the sound with guys fishing, so it was perfect! Ryan took us to Magic Wings, a butterfly museum where the butterflies literally fly all around you. She had been there before with Jackson. The pictures are so cute of the kids. Olivia was desperate to have one land on her and of course they didn't. Scott was desperate for them to keep as far away from him as possible and of course they came as close as they could and kept landing on him. I had one land on my head perfectly where when its wings were spread it looked like the best 80's hairclip you ever saw! LOL When I first walked in I wasn't sure I was going to be able to handle it because it was overwhelming when they flew right around you, but you get used to it. It was so hot and humid in there but it was so beautiful. It's so weird that in all of the pictures we took you can't see the butterflies flying around b/c they are so fast, but they are truly EVERYWHERE. Scott screamed more than he laughed which was quite funny. We couldn't lose him if we tried, we always knew where Scott wandered off too because you would hear his high pitch scream because a butterfly came too close or a bird walked across the path in front of him. So funny! There is a truly hysterical picture of me with the 2 kids, trying to get a nice family picture but Scott wouldn't cooperate and I was rolling my eyes and Ryan, well, she capture the most perfect look on my face and I swear, it is candid, not planned at all! LOL We had a great day and then went to a boat launch and walked out on the pier and took some pictures. Larry's aunt Laura came over later that night with her daughter Haley to play with Olivia and to have some pizza whiles the mom's enjoyed some long overdue strawberry margaritas! YUMMY! The boys crashed out and we actually went to bed early too. It was a fun sleep over Ryan and Jackson...can't wait to do it again! We had a great time...THANK YOU! See you next weekend!
