Bugs, Butterflies & Boo! (aka...Getting Over My Fear of Butterflies)

Butterfly Pavilion - Bug-a-Boo

Saturday & Sunday, October 19th - October 20th

9AM - 5PM 

I am afraid of butterflies.

 

My kids (and the hubs) think this is HILARIOUS.

 

It all started with the Miller Moth Invasion of 1992.  We couldn't even leave the porch light on or 20 of those little buggers would come in the house with us.  They were in my truck, outside, and in my house...constantly banging into my face and head.

 

Despite the fact that my hubs will take more than one picture of me with my mouth agape, silently screaming, I am REALLY looking forward to bringing the fam to the Butterfly Pavilion for the Bug-A-Boo this year.  My three year old has actually been asking to go, since the Middle is headed there on a field trip next week.  The hubs WILL be holding Rosie (because he is afraid of her, and let's be honest...I GOTTA get a picture of THAT).  AND we get to go trick or treating and hang with a giant praying mantis.  I mean, seriously, what could be better than that?

 

"Experience Metro Denver's favorite Halloween event - Bug-A-Boo at Butterfly Pavilion! Celebrate the fall season dressed in your Halloween best while enjoying indoor trick-or-treating, creepy crawly activities, a parade led by Pete the Mantis, and lots more fun for the whole family to enjoy! Kick off the holiday a week early!"

Safety + Spookiness = FUN! at The Chrildren's Museum!

Children's Museum of Denver - Trick or Treat Street

Oct 25th - 27th

9am - 7:30 pm

 

Break out the costumes and get ready for some safe Halloween fun!  I am taking my family to the Children's Museum Trick or Treat Street, and we are ALREADY excited.  My 3 year old has been donning his dino costume for several days now...not sure it's going to make it to October!

 

From the museum:

 

"We're bringing in pumpkins, hay bales and heaps of spooktacular fun to make the Children's Museum a playful wonderland for children and adults alike! For three days, the Museum will host fairies, goblins, superheroes and all sorts of costumed characters. Families can parade from one Treat House to the next collecting goodies, create classic Halloween crafts like "Noodle-Boned Skeletons" and "Dirty Desserts," play carnival games on the plaza, stroll through Pumpkin Hill, take a spin on Vern's Mini Train* and much more. It's the ultimate Halloween adventure, bursting with fun for everyone. Visit mychildsmuseum.org for a complete schedule of events. Activities included with Museum admission. *Vern's Mini Train is $2 per ride."
