Otago Museum

Sunday January 29th Otago Museum and home.

After an early mass we walked to the Otago Museum/Butterfly Garden.  This is an amazing place and we only scratched the surface even though we were there for almost four hours!  We have been to many butterfly gardens but this was unique.  It has three levels and a large waterfall in the middle of it.  Also, they let you help release the butterflies!  Everyone had a blast and we were sad to leave.  We drove home to get ready for the next week which will see the kids start school.  They are incredibly nervous!
