Family Outing Day

We ended up staying in Dallas for Labor Day weekend this year. But we did manage to take a little outing this afternoon. We met my friend Kelley and her almost-three-year-old, Maggie, at the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary

in McKinney, Texas. In addition to watching ring-tailed lemurs play, we saw the coolest butterflies.

From now until September 28, the Heard has a Native Texas Butterflies exhibit in a greenhouse-like environment where patrons can get up-close and personal. The exhibit includes species such as tiger, giant, and zebra swallowtails, giant whites, monarchs and zebra longwings, to name a few.

Don't you think the Creator must've had a blast thinking of so many ways to express beauty?
