Daniel and Ladan. Are they a great pair or what?
The Bonuras have the BEST yard for boys! These kids had a BLAST together!
Of course, the weekend wouldn't have been complete without some home repair projects for Joseph and Chet. Don't you love the look of concentration on their faces!?!

THE BUTTERFLY RELEASE--JULY 26
We did a science "project" and grew butterflies from caterpillars in our home. It was really great! We started off with five caterpillars. All went into cocoons, but only four came out. And one butterfly died before we were able to release them. It was great for the boys to see all of these aspects of creation right in our home! They also had a really great time releasing the butterflies when it was time! They were Painted Lady butterflies.

Gabe was pretty sure that this butterfly wanted to eat a leaf.
There are a few other photos from the other camera that I need to download and add in a separate entry. Hopefully tomorrow!
