Saturday, Lily declared it Minnie's Birthday - and only a Butterfly Birthday party was worthy of the occasion.
The Garfield Conservation Park happened to be having a Backyard Butterfly exhibit. As a surprise when we arrived they gave each of us a freshly hatched butterfly - Jordan, Lily and Minnie released each butterfly and watched them take their first flight. With classical music in the background and butterflies fluttering around, it felt like we were transported to a magical world.

| These fish fell in love with my little Lily and followed her around the pond - it may have been her channeling Dora the Explorer's spirit ("I'm in the jungle like Dora!") or it may have been their expectations of food that endeared them to her. |
There's nothing like partying with butterflies to build up an appetite. We headed over to Indy's original City Market from 1903.

| I took this picture of Jordan eating his enormous PoBoy, turned away to put the camera in it's case, heard a series of "hmms..." and when I turned back, Jordan was left with a bite sized piece left in his fingers. He rated it as the top 5 sandwiches he's ever had and wasn't hungry again for about 17 hours. |

| No party, or outing is complete unless ice cream is involved. |
