Feeling Summer in the Winter

This past weekend we were lucky enough to welcome visitors to our new house here in South Dakota.  It was fantastic to see Pete, Anne and the boys.  There was lots of laughter & some adventure.  One of the things we did was visit the Sertoma Butterfly House.  It’s a very cool place to check out & it is also a fabulous place to feel a little bit of summer in the middle of winter.  The viewing house is kept at 86° with 80% humidity.  It is filled with amazing tropical butterflies that flit around & occasionally catch a ride on the visitors.  Check out the pictures I managed to snag with my phone’s camera.  I definitely want to go back sometime with my good digital camera & see what I can capture.
