When the movie, "Ramona and Beezus" came out, Rebecca was very excited to see it. She has read the Ramona books and enjoyed them, and really wanted to see the movie. I knew that since Joseph had struggled to sit through "Toy Story 3" in the theater, there was no way that he would make it through a non-animated big-girl movie like Ramona. Since Jack was out of town, I sent my niece Ali with Rebecca (how grown up!) and took Miriam and Joseph to the Butterfly Pavilion while we waited for them.
Joseph and Miriam love going to the Butterfly Pavilion. They had lots of fun looking at all the bugs in the displays. I think some of them are a little on the creepy side, but the kids were fascinated by them. Neither of them held Rosie, the tarantula, but I can't say I blame them. There was a display about bed bugs, and Miriam has still been asking me for facts about them. Sorry, I didn't read the sign that closely as I was chasing after your brother!
While they wouldn't touch the tarantula, they loved touching the starfish. I was worried that Joseph would poke it and hurt it, but he did great!
They really enjoyed going out to see the butterflies. There are several paths to follow around the vegetation, and there were tons of butterflies all around. We were even there at the right time to see them release the new butterflies.
I was impressed by a new area at the Butterfly Pavilion. It was a room with interactive displays for the kids to play and interact with 'bug stuff'. Miriam had a lot of fun climbing through the spider web, and Joseph enjoyed the insect puzzles.
We had a fun time together while Rebecca got to experience some 'big kid' time.
