| The first stop was the butterfly/cool critter house. These nicely disguised fellows are phasmids. |
| I'm entranced, but John was wary enough to spot the stealth photographer. |
| John's father is quite the photographer and arranged this shot. |
| Here's one for the Christmas cards. |
| This is a great butterfly house. I've never seen one so densly populated before. |
| Like any great butterfly house they had a koi pond. And orchids. It was really a lovely place. |
| Through the bushes we can see the Pairitus Lovebirdicus. Crikey they're a beaut! We gotta be careful not to startle'em or the female will go into what's called her Destroyer mode. |
| This is a transparant butterfly. They like to flock around your ankles. |
| New Hampshire is very cold in the winter. Despite the pleasant temperature of the greenhouse I couldn't be persuaded to give up my scarf. |
| A pretty covered bridge. |
| We're just trying to keep warm. Really. *cough* |
| Sledding! |
| This is pretty exciting. In Seattle it's quite rare to have enough snow for sledding. |
| It's John's turn for a push. |
| Well, ok, we didn't get going to fast on this little hill, but it was really pretty. |
| John's mother takes care of the leftovers after a nice family dinner. We had sushi. |
