Butterfly Festival

What a fun, great weekend we had.  We happened to trip upon a little butterfly festival in Grapevine several years ago and this week I randomly came across an ad for the same festival and thought it would be a fun family outing.   It was definitely worth the trip even if it was a bit overwhelming for Addie.  The little festival had definitely grown significantly from years past but is still super cute. 

They start out the festival with a little parade of all the kids who dress up for the festivities.   There are small babies, kids, adults, dogs all dressed up in some sort of butterfly gear.  They judge all of the costumes and give out prizes based on age groups, we didn’t stick around to see the winners but we definitely saw some cute costumes.

 

We tried to get a shot by the pumpkins, she wasn’t as enthused about the idea as the rest of us.

The release of butterflies wasn’t as pretty as you would of hoped for but it was still pretty cool

After the festival we ended up eating an early lunch at Esparza’s and buying some fresh produce at the farmer’s market.  Once we got home Addie slept for 3 hours, I would say it was a pretty perfect Saturday.
