We went to the butterfly farm on the french side of the island today. After experiencing the island's zoo "St. Maarten Park" and seeing mostly ducks, chickens, tortoises and a whole lot of parrots all along a path trodden with heavy bird droppings, I wasn't expecting much from the butterfly farm today.
But, much to our delight, it was a clean, well run, magical little place where there were several different species of butterflies floating all around you in a lush well cared for garden.
We enjoyed a little bit of the daughter of the owner's guided tour of the farm. She grew up on the island and at the farm, and was very well versed in her butterfly knowledge. She even called herself a "butterfly professional." She made many attempts to involve Ezra in the fun of finding caterpillars and touching them, but he has always been squeamish around them and didn't oblige.
Wow! Those are some really amazing butterflys! Sorry to hear about your finger. Ouch! That is really funny how Ezra said it was all your fault. Kids say funny things sometimes. Hopefully with raw food and green smoothies it will heal up super quick!!
