Today we visited the Butterfly Pavillion in Westminster, CO. What an amazing place!

Inside the butterfly sanctuary, we were not supposed to touch anything, but what can you do when a butterfly LANDS on you? This was Colin's predicament here:

The boys had fun climbing on the giant spider web.

Aidan enjoyed investigating how a mosquito bites its victim...

...while Colin enjoyed seeing how a grasshopper eats.

Both boys loved climbing around on and in the giant honeycomb.

Aidan got a kick out of getting a "bug's eye view" of things.

The highlight for both boys was getting to hold "Rosie" the tarantula.

Here's a closeup of Rosie:

Among other miscellaneous things, here is Colin paying homage to his hero, Uncle Joe:

Aidan was SO EXCITED to hold his baby cousin!
