Scarlet and Butterflies: A Match Made In ....

You know those photos of fair-haired little girls in pretty sundresses standing in a butterfly garden smiling?

That is so NOT Scarlet.

Our friends invited us to Lucas Nursery and its butterfly encounter in Oviedo a few weekends ago. With Fab's mom in town and visiting, I was able to get a few hours with just Scarlet and thought a butterfly garden would be an awesome experience.

Turns out, she classifies butterflies as bugs - and she hate bugs.

So, she basically moped through the very warm and enclosed exhibit until we reached the spot where you can feed the butterflies. I put a touch of sweet water on her arm and a butterfly landed on her. She then proceeded to scream like a banshee and swat the butterfly. I don't know if it survived...

I haven't even gotten the photos from my camera yet, but these are on loan from Aurelia's mom.

After the butterfly encounter ... cooling down on a bench.


Hanging with my homey.

By the way, have I mentioned I hate butterflies?


Seriously, get me outta here.
