With a butterfly book in hand, we set off to explore the monarch habitat carefully cultivated around Lake Nokomis. We didn't see any butterflies (it might have been a little early this year due to the late summer we're having), but it sure was cool to see all the plants the butterflies (and bees!) get nectar from.

The monarch habitat is on the northeast side of the lake. Be sure to check out the Monarch Festival held there each year on the Saturday after Labor Day. It's such a fun time!

| Parts of the monarch habitat area are under water due to the flooding this year. |

| If you're by a lake, well, you'll need to go swimming in it! |
