They host hundreds of gorgeous, diverse butterflies. Entering the nature center is free of charge, but the butterfly house costs a few dollars - very well worth it.</p> <p>About the last two photos in the set:</p> <p>We got to see a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis! I learned that a new butterfly needs to chill out for a few hours while before it can fly, as their wings are too soft.</p> <p>And the last pic - I tried so hard to get a clear picture of this butterfly. That species was HUGE - as big as your hand, and the top of their wings were an awesome bright blue. They were rarely still - and when they were, their wings were closed!

Canobie lake is so gorgeous and I really enjoyed my trip this year. It was a very well-needed relaxing change of scenery.</p> <p>One thing I missed are the fireworks that shoot off from a barge in the lake. The holiday fell in the middle of the week this year, and we couldn’t stay to see them.</p> <p>- Danielle</p>http://handmadebrigade.tumblr.com/post/26519677959http://handmadebrigade.tumblr.com/post/26519677959Wed, 04 Jul 2012 18:46:00 -0400canobie lakenew hampshirenhvacationlakewaterbeautifulsunsetsmoresfirehammockfamilyfriendsfunminejuly 4thindependence day
