Adam learned all about milkweed plants from his friend at work. He went out and bought one for the kids. Know what a milkweed plant is? It is caterpillar food!! We have had caterpillars all over our plant! The kids have had a blast checking them every day, watching them eat and checking them again! Seriously I had no idea they would love it like they do!! They show everyone and anyone who comes over!
I love this shot of Kalixta checking out the caterpillars.
We must have 100 pictures and videos of the caterpillars!
A little while ago we can out and all the caterpillars were gone!! The kids were so sad but knew they were off to become butterflies! The next day we saw one caterpillar climbing up the side of the house. He went all the way up to the roof of the house and dangled upside down!
A few days later within two hours he was a cocoon. He now has a buddy up there with him. Again the kids check on the cocoons everyday waiting for those butterflies!!
