Butterfly show

On Sunday we went to the Khron Conservatory in Cincinnati for the butterfly show. Every year they bring in Butterfly cocoon's from all over the world and incubate them and hatch them and then put them on display. This year the butterflies were from China. It is really cool. You go into this large greenhouse like building with all kinds of flowers and decorations and the live butterflies fly around you and land on you and you are able to hold them. It is really cool. There was many displays about Chinese culture. Fans, bonsai trees, silk worms, embroidery etc. It was really cool.
Along with the butterflies we also so alot of ladybugs. With every ladybug siting I wished that some else recieved their referral.
They also had a Prayer Tree. The Chinese believe that trees are where heaven and earth touch.
This is why they are concidered excellent places for prayers and requests to be made. Prayers, offerings and requests are written on a piece of woven cloth such as cotton or ribbon. I made and wish for our baby and the babies of all of our new friends to come home quickly.
The kids had a great time holding the butterflies and making butterfly masks.
