chasing butterflies

After a summer filled with chasing butterflies, Belle finally caught one.  Luckily I was outside taking pictures of them on our playground when it happened.  She loves catching bugs and little critters.  So far she has caught frogs, worms, caterpillars, rolly pollys, fireflies, a preying mantis, grasshoppers and ladybugs.
Definitely a little tomboy.
We love our playground!  I can just send the kids out back and they will stay there for hours.  Felicity loves her swing too.  She just loves being out there with Belle and Dylan.
Our backyard (and playground) is definitely one of our favorite parts of our house!

lily and taylor think that is pretty cool!! they would love to catch a butterfly. even though joy told them that they would kill it if they caught it....i guess this pic is proof that that won't happen.

Wow! Did Mike put that thing together?!?! Looks like so much fun! I love the little "clubhouse" thing at the top! I might have to come and visit so I can play on the playground too!

what a great swing set! I still remember when they came over to our house and screamed "a park!" With our piddly little swing set. So fun!
