A room full of Butterflies






University of Florida has a butterfly exhibit and they had a student night where admissions was free so Ben and I decided to take advantage of the 'freeness' and go look at the butterflies. I have never seen so many butterflies in my life! You walk through this room that feels like your in the tropical rainforest and there are all these beautiful butterflies flying around you! It was the most gorgous thing I have ever seen or experianced. After you walked through the entire exibit they had a window with these plants in it...if you looked real close you could see the caterpillers and cocoons on the plants...it was amazing! The butterfly exhibit is part of the larger Florida Natural History Musuem. Since it was free, we decided to see the rest of the musuem. When walking around all of a sudden there were these HUGE shark jaws staring back at me! the first one I saw wasn't even the largest (the pic w/ us in the sharks mouth was the biggest). All in all it was one of the most wonderful evenings ever!

Note: I couldn't upload allllllllll the pictures but here are some of my favorites:)
