Photo Description

The daily check in on monarch 9 of 13. Out of the 4 small milkweed plants in our yard, the boys found 13 total over the past few weeks. Since then we have had an indoor monarch farm watching the process. Looking at these each day gives a nice little boost of hope and perspective especially when you see the awe in your kids face.
