The Butterfly Hunters

One of the first things the grandkiddos did when we got settled at the condo was to hunt butterflies.  They had come prepared with dollar store butterfly nets for the hunt.  Grandpa coaches Jack on the fine art of butterfly hunting.

And, the hunt is on.  With a determined look in his eyes, Jack sets out on his own.

His hunting skills come naturally and he almost bags the elusive white butterfly!

 Even Dad tries his skills at tropical butterfly hunting.
Meg and Ella get into the act.

Ella is a top-notch, patient butterfly hunter and her skills pay off.  Grandpa Wayne helps her and gives her instruction on how to release the butterfly into the jar without harm.

Jack admires his sister's catch.

Ella holds up her trophy with pride.


All in all, a very successful first day of butterfly hunting in the tropical paradise of Bahia Pez Vela.
