the butterfly magnet




The San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park has their annual Butterfly Jungle exhibit happening now and for the next two weeks. Thomas was excited to go and specifically chose this outfit in hopes of attracting butterflies. He said the green pants were like a flower's stem, his shirt was like a flower and the clown hair was to add to the whole flower look he had created. He figured if he stood real still inside the Butterfly Jungle the butterflies would think he was a flower and would land all over him. I was beginning to think we might leave the park with a disappointed little boy after being inside the exhibit for what felt like a very long time. When Meredith decided she was done, she and I left the exhibit while Grandma stayed inside with Thomas. I was pleased to hear them report 10 minutes later that three butterflies had landed on Thomas!
