That makes 11

Ryn is really getting good at catching butterflies. In her spare time between schooling she likes to go outside and catch these butterflies. Our neighbor has a butterfly bush which makes it pretty easy to find them. She is so ginger with them in her fingers. She looks them over and holds a flower up to their straws so they can get some nectar, then she lets them go. Even today at the lake she caught a butterfly flying around the kids. She is keeping a mental count of how many she has caught and she is up to 11 and that was just this week. Good thing we are studing zoology (flying creatures) this year.

It helps to have a bush or flower that attracts them but she has caught them on the beach before too. She is gentile and quick.
