the Flight of the Butterflies

Yesterday I was able to relive one of the most memorable things I have witnessed in my life: the flight of the butterflies.

I have always referred to it as the Monarch Migration because that's really what it is. Back in 2010, when my mom and I took the trip to Mexico City to see them, I blogged about it here: (the Monarch Migration).
(That clump of leaves in the photo above is actually butterflies, not leaves.)

Yesterday I felt like I was there again.

Mike and I went to the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake to see a couple of movies. We watched the Rocky Mountain Express and the Flight of the Butterflies. Both were great films, but when I watched the Flight of the Butterflies, I felt like I was having déjà vu! I loved that Mike was able to watch the film, and perhaps feel a little bit of what it was like to be there in real life, it may be the closest he ever gets, but it felt very accurate.

I am blogging about it because I think everyone should go watch the film! Mike said that it was one of the best 3-D movies he had ever seen! This is the trailer for it:



Seriously soooooo good! I highly, highly recommend it!
