Butterflies and Carousels

Unfortunately Liam had to go back to work on Tuesday. We were having a great time with the whole troop together. Tuesday was another inside day so the girls suggested a day seeing the butterfly room at the Museum of Natural History. Grandad mistakenly thought that it was in the zoo and said so as we pulled up outside the museum. Seeing all the school groups going in, Ngila quietly commented, "I hope that it isn't a zoo in there,because Tuesdays are free to the butterfly house." Sometimes her way with words amazes us all. On the bus on the way down she found a discarded newspaper and was sitting with her legs crossed, "reading" the paper, lowering it from time to time to cast disapproving looks at some men who were speaking too loudly. Later Sheelagh mentioned an activity that was going to happen a few days later and Ngila said, "Oh yes, I saw that in the paper."
We got our free tickets and got to go in and see the butterflies up close and personal. We also had time to look at some other bugs and things. It was great. After we left the museum we crossed the mall to have a ride on the carousel there.
