Where birthday week before the Pandemic was full of trips and visits to zoos and restaurants, during the pandemic-in the time of COVID it has turned into a week of science experiments opening gifts, and crafts.

Grandma Pippy very generously got Lucas a butterfly garden.

The little caterpillars arrive on July 3rd, and we didn’t want to wait any longer to make sure we caught all of the fun. Lucas couldn’t help but shake them.

Here we are explaining the whole thing to him.

That muddy stuff in the cup is actually their food.

Grandma came a couple of days later to check out the caterpillars.
