We went to visit the Butterfly Conservatory today – it was really amazing to have so many different kinds of butterflies flying around! Sarah tried so hard to be very still but no butterflies landed on her. She did get to help feed the turtles and fish though, and we watched a butterfly leaving its cocoon. We also saw 2 tiny baby birds in their nest.

Alabama Trip
After finding oil on the beach, we decided to find some other touristy things to do around Mobile! Sarah and I found the Gulf Coast Exploreum (Mobile Children’s Museum) which was a blast for Sarah. We watched an IMAX movie about dolphins and learned a lot about physics (Sarah made a computer roller coaster) and about human anatomy. There was even a play area with a fishing boat and fish market. Another day we met Daddy for lunch at Sarah’s new favorite restaurant – the Blue Heron Cafe and then visited the Bellingrath Gardens on our way back to the hotel. There were plenty of dragonflies and butterflies along with a surprise visit by a bunny rabbit! Sarah and I even found time to go see the new 3D Shrek movie. We really enjoyed our week in Alabama and especially the cookout with steak, shrimp and all kinds of grilled veggies on our last night!
