Butterfly Creek
We went to Butterfly Creek on Sunday.
We had a great time. What a neat place!! Ethan was excited about the farmyard, the playground and the train, but said he wasn't interested in the butterfly house. [Just a bit of background info for you. Ethan detests anything "girly" at the moment ... pink, purple, glitter, sparkles, dolls, flowers, butterflies, jewellery, dresses and fairies. Many of those things I'm quite happy for him to bypass (like the fairies and jewellery, lol) but the loathing of all things pink & purple is wearing a bit thin. He won't even eat pink lollipops!!] Anyway ... he was adamant that he wouldn't like the butterflies, but I knew he would once he saw them. And he did. He was pretty darn fascinated by them, actually. Especially when they landed on us.
I got some pretty good close ups of some of them. The boys also loved the fish and the turtles that were inside the butterfly house.
We also went on the train and walked around the farmyard. Tyler got to feed a lamb some milk from a bottle. He also tormented a poor baby goat by chasing it around until it ran inside the barn to hide under a table. That didn't stop Tyler, who proceeded to climb under the table after it, yelling "there it is!!!" and pulling the poor thing's tail!!
The boys also enjoyed patting the rabbits and the pigs. We didn't let Tyler hold a rabbit by himself for fear the poor animal would be squeezed to death. So he just patted one that Rob was holding :-)
After all that we had a delicious lunch at the cafe, and then the boys played on the playground. We we there for about 3 1/2 hours and it there was just so much to do there. We could have easily stayed longer but Tyler was getting tired and we had visitors coming round at 3pm. I would definitely love to visit again, and bring my parents & sister. If it were a bit closer to home it would be an awesome place for a birthday party. They have a party room and I know a friend from work had her son's 5th birthday party there. But I'm sure we'll be back again at some point, it is a neat place!

oh Hannah what a fun time you all had. I love the photos especially the close up of Tyler. I love the close up shots of the butterflys as well.
Great pics! That looks like a very cool place to visit :)
Great photos, I love the one of Tyler he looks so cute!
Your little man has beautiful eyes Hannah.
Sounds like you guys had a great time at Butterfly Creek. Your boys are getting so big and so handsome. In the one picture of Ethan, he looks so mischievious. The one of him petting the pig. Sounds like you guys had a fabulous Labour Day weekend.
Wonderful photos Hannah! Had to chuckle about Ethan's anti girly things. Look on the bright side, at least he wont try to borrow your bling , ribbons and what not to play with 0.o
Glad to hear all the family had a great time - it sounds such a neat place to go with little ones. Hmmmm but I LOVE butterflies too!
