While visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Delta, 

Brookelyn and I decided to spend 

some time outside

 because the weather was so nice. 

Among the beautiful warm weather, green grass and 

smell of flowers in the air, Grandma had a a flower bed

 full of fluttering butterflies. 

They were so pretty and everywhere.... there were 100's of them!! 

Trying to impress my little girl I told her to watch her mom

 in action as I tried capturing one of them with my bare hands. 

After a couple of tries I finally caught one by cupping it in my fist. 

Brookelyn was fascinated!! She proceeded to tell me 

that she wanted to try..... so I coached her on how to do it.

 She went into action and slowly crept up on one 

and with cat-like reflexes she caught one by the wings..... 

How did she do that?? 

She showed me with great excitement 

her accomplishment... I was shocked!! 

I then asked her to show me how she did 

that.... 

she then became the teacher

 and I became the student. 

She amazes me everyday!!
