Riding a Butterfly

In Costa Rica, butterflies used to come in the house but couldn’t find their way out – so I saved them! But here in Bali, they are way smarter. They can get all out by theirselves.

All our family is on butterflies! All of us are on separate butterflies, and Aysia is right next to mom. And mom is the one with the black dress. And Grandma Alli has the brown dress. I am in the red dress. And Emily is in a green dress. And dad has the yellow shirt and blue pants.

Here is a picture of me riding a butterfly, with all the other butterflies. It’s in a magical place. Grandma Alli took the photo! I feel a little scared when I ride butterflies, but it’s kind of fun.

If I had a butterfly, I would name it Andrea. What would you name your butterfly?

    It was lots of fun seeing you ride on that blue butterfly – very glad I could get a picture of it!

    That is a beautiful magical butterfly place! I think it would be really fun to ride a butterfly, but it would have to be a really big butterfly, and I think I might be a little bit scared too, so I would have to hold on very tightly. I especially like how you drew Aysia on her butterfly. She looks so cute. :)

    I would name my butterfly Kupu-Kupu, which means butterfly in Indonesian. :)

    That looks like a beautiful land where you are riding your butterfly, and you look so happy and free! I might like to have butterflies come in my house for a visit, if they could find their way back out. I would probably name mind Fiona.
