The Saturday before Halloween we headed to the Cockrell Butterfly Center in downtown Houston. I had purchased a groupon since Rachel has been talking about going back ever since Andy took the girls last year. The girls enjoyed our little Saturday morning adventure.

The girls were thrilled when one of the museum workers came up to us and let the girls hold a butterfly. She explained to us that it was injured and wasn't going to live much longer. It made the girls day to be able to hold a butterfly (even though it was almost dead). It was interesting because if you touched the butterfly the colors would rub off on your fingers (kind of like it was bleeding).
After checking out the butterflies the girls had fun playing in a little play area. Rachel got a kick out of how this magnifying glass would make her head larger. Not sure why the scary face, but I guess she was scary with a larger face...
It was a perfect Saturday to go since Grandma Smith was visiting and the museum wasn't busy at all.
