Butterflies and Sinking Boats

We headed into Branson yesterday to participate in a couple touristy activities. Our first stop was The Butterfly Palace.





Zach was excited to have a butterfly land on his hat.





This was our favorite butterfly. It is called the Apollo. These ones are just hatching.

The butterflies were freaking me out because they are shifty like birds.

This pretty blue butterfly wouldn't land long enough for us to get shot.

The palace was full of orchids. This one was my favorite. I call it the inkspot.

Cockroaches...Zach's favorite.

We headed next to The Titanic musuem. No cameras are allowed inside, so this is all you get.

Inside the exhibit there was a tub of 28 degree water (same temperature as when the Titanic went down). We challenged each other to see who could keep two fingers in the longest. I lasted nearly 30 seconds and Zach made it a full minute. He was rubbing his fingers to get them warm for several minutes afterward.

I hope these "little" cockroaches don't show up at the house along with the snakes!

Those are awesome photos! Amazing how many different butterflies there are and the cockroaches were HUGE! Scary.
