Yesterday was the day. Alex let his butterflies go. He released them in our backyard. It was not easy. He was very sad. He did not want to let Skylar, Andrew, Hayden, Resse, or Alex go. He did it though. He put on a brave little smile and said good-bye to them before letting them go. For about an hour afterwards he walked around the yard looking for them. He was able to track two of them. Poor guy. He is ok today. He is already talking about getting some new butterflies. And he just knows that his old ones will 'come back to Texas and see us' soon he said.
