We drove to Myrtle Beach State Park Nature Center for a Butterly Tagging class the other week.

Ranger Ann began by sharing information about Monarch Butterflies. Our goal was to walk the flowered path along the beachfront, find Monarch butterflies, and tag them.

Ranger Ann shared information about Monarch butterflies. Due to the high winds, she, unfortunately, did not expect to find any.

Although we didn’t see Monarch Butterflies on this particular day, we successfully caught (and let go) several other kinds.

Of course, my favorite part of the day was the amazing view. Looks like the perfect classroom to me!

Thanks to Ranger Ann and Hayley for sharing such an educational experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Before the class, JP LOVED watching the corn snake slither around in his tank.

If he could take this guy home, he would. (I don’t need to tell you, that’s not going to happen). 

He was happy to take home one of the snake skins.
