Yesterday the kids were so happy to play outside in the warm sunshine. During afternoon they came across a playful black butterfly. I didn't think much of at first, since I was on the phone and digging in the garden. Every so often though, they would run by chasing their new friend. I had thought about the getting the camera but figured the butterfly would fly away soon and that would be that. Well no, an hour later they were still following it around! They would lose it, then sure enough it would come back again. They were able to get right up close to it and I tried to talk Dawson out of actually catching it, explaining that it would probably get hurt in the process. So they just watched it and chased it until finally it must have got tired and flew away.
It's true what they say, kids get bored of toys so fast but take them outside and they have so much more fun investigating and playing around. Seeing these innocent little kids laughing and running after this butterfly was so precious and reminds me of being thankful of the little things during my days.
