Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Hershey Butterfly House

I was worried Ella might freak out about hundreds of butterflies in an enclosed area considering her recent near-seizure-like responses to bugs, but she did great! It really was awe-inspiring to walk in and be surrounded by beautiful flowers and then, as your eyes adjust, see that there are butterflies everywhere! After about a minute of just standing and looking quietly Ella turned to me and in a hushed voice said "Mom, this is amazing!"


the "map" (as Ella calls anything with any type of directions)


There are probably about a dozen butterflies in this 2 foot area


GREAT experience!
