Monarch Butterflies

Today we wanted to get everyone out of the house and enjoy the great weather.  With that in mind, we headed out to see the monarch butterflies that flock to the beach very close to our house.  It was a great chance for the boys to try out their telescope too!  Matt set it up so they could see the butterflies and they were surprised to see so many in a cluster.  
 They were fascinated with these large monarch signs and insisted a get a photo of them with one.  Of course you really can't see it because they wanted to be in front of it.  Ha ha!
 My favorite shot of a butterfly resting on a fence post.


 And then we walked to the beach.  The kids really wanted to walk to the ocean but we decided not too because it was getting close to lunch.  Olivier showing off how he can make a mess in the sand.
 This photo should have been great, and probably would have been, if Mason hadn't been wearing his hat like his Grandpa Pierre!  :-)



 More butterflies.
 And the butterflies warming up in the sun.
The warm weather has been nice but rain would be great right about now.  It has been too long!
