We, as in all of us Jason included, went to Grapevine on Saturday to check out the Butterfly Festival and Nash Farms, Fall Roundup.
While the Roundup was kind of a bummer (other than we learned that Ash is really good at horseshoes) the Butterfly Festival was awesome!
It was at the botanical gardens and it was filled with butterflies! The Monarchs travel through Texas on their way to Mexico as part of their migration. I'm not quite sure how they do it, but they catch them and tag them with a little sticker on their wing and then release them and track them.
Ashton and I got to release one of them and then we spent the rest of the afternoon chasing butterflies around, doing crafts, walking through a pumpkin patch and finished it off with a picnic in the beautiful gardens.
It was a perfect way to spend a Saturday.
