Butterfly Rainforest

 While dad and I were in Gainesville, FL for grandpa's surgery, we needed something to do to occupy our time.  After searching the internet for things to do in the area, we came across a butterfly rainforest exhibit that was inexpensive and gave us something to do for a few hours.  Let me tell you that there is nothing to do there for tourists.  Everything that came up was about the Florida Gators and football.
This exhibit was actually part of the University of Florida and was so neat.  I have never heard of such a thing before, but it was awesome.  You have hundreds of butterflies flying around and they all look different.  Grandpa said he doesn't like to go because they might poop on his cowboy hat!
  
Here are some pictures from our adventure!






These are some sort of African butterfly that will only survive from eating the banana as it's source of food.






 For only $10, it was well worth the money spent to see and experience something different.  If you are ever in the area, it is definitely worth checking out!
