We went to Butterfly Wonderland one afternoon while we were in Arizona. It was so much bigger than our local butterfly room - they even had a 3-D movie about butterflies before we went into the exhibit. It was the first time Simon had ever been in a movie in a theater! He totally loved it and asked a ton of questions. In the butterfly room we took lots of family pictures and looked at fish and of course saw lots of butterflies! As we walked out they had bees and ants and fish and, most amazingly, a sting ray touching pool. Simon and Alan spent about 30 minutes with two fingers in the water letting sting rays swim by and touch Simon's fingers. He was totally amazed. On our way out there was gift shop and Alan and I got Simon a stuffed sting ray to help remember the occasion. Simon named his stuffed-ray Luke-Luke and we spent the next couple days putting two fingers into an imaginary pool so Luke-Luke could swim over them.

| Touched a Sting Ray (Or as Simon called them Sting Rings) |
 |
| Can I pick that flower? |
 |
| Standing very still so butterflies would want to land on him like they did with Mama |
 |
| Some other little kids there found pill bugs/roly polies in the dirt and Simon was super excited to hold them |
 |
| Do you want to hold him? He's so nice! |
