The Bug Ball

We celebrated Josh's birthday tonight at the much-anticipated "Bug Ball" at the botanical gardens. The "bug party," as Josh calls it, was really a fundraiser for the gardens that was a great time for kids and adults. The kids were all dressed up like bugs, hence the ladybug and grasshopper. Molly refused to wear the antennae.

Both kids seemed enthralled with the dancing (complete with a DJ and colored lights) but weren't interested in dancing themselves. Here's Josh watching the scene and Molly running away from it. I think the girls dressed up like bugs must have reminder her of those women dressed up like bunnies at the botanical gardens' Easter party.

We got to the party too late for the butterfly release, but we did find some butterflies in the orchid conservatory.
The kids were up so late we decided it wouldn't matter if we had a drink while the kids watched some of "A Bug's Life." A great ending to the party!
