Butterfly Emerging from its Chrysalis

My son and I almost didn’t go on today’s class field trip: We awoke to a cold, rainy day, he’d been sick all week, and I woke up disorganized. Still, we bundled up and trudged out the door. I spent a good deal of the morning asking myself why we’d come, and I was sure the day would be a total flop. Somehow, seeing this brief magic (and my son’s wonder at it, though unfortunately I didn’t catch that part on the video) made the whole day worthwhile.
