Wild Connections Butterfly Farm


Last week I organized a field trip to Wild Connections Butterfly Farm in Dripping Springs. We were so lucky to share our day with so many friends and it really was a great little farm with loads to do. Many of us arrived early to explore the farm, play with Ava the farm kitty,
do a scavenger hunt and eat our picnics. Then we sent the kids inside for a short film on the butterfly life cycle and off we went to the butterfly house. It was really quite impressive, eggs, caterpillars and butterflies everywhere, not to mention some really gorgeous plants! However, nothing could really compare to the two little snakes fighting over a fish in the creek! Go ahead, you know you want to click on the pic to get a better look! Afterwards we took a short hike, enjoying the Hill Country scenery. This century plant was amazing!
It was so nice to spend time enjoying nature with so many of our friends! I really couldn't have asked for a better day! And although there were butterflies galore, I only got one decent photo so here's my best butterfly shot!
