A group of our momstown Milton mamas and tots headed out to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory today. The transformation from a cold, snowy winter day to a lush tropical humid setting was just what we needed to lift our spirits and remind us that spring is just around the cornor. The kids enjoyed exploring every part of the exhibit which included a variety of birds, flowers, plants, fish, turtles and of course butterflies! There was also an additional owl exhibit from the ROM that the kids got to view. The children watched in amazement as the butterflies fluttered all around us. A few even choose to get up close and personal with our youngsters. You could hear the squeals of delight everywhere you turned and that was enough to put a smile on everyones face! Did you know that a moth emerges from a cocoon and a butterfly emerges from a chrysalis. A cocoon is the silk casing many moth caterpillars spin around themselves and a chrysalis is formed when a caterpillar sheds it skin for the last time! Overall it was two thumbs up to the conservatory for providing a great morning of entertainment. Our various momstown chapters will be back!
