Butterflies

The kids had a couple of days off from school for UEA break. We used the time off to go visit Brian's parents. While we were in the area we went to the Butterfly Preserve in Pacific Grove.

Here are some Monarchs hanging upside down on the branches of a eucalyptus tree:


Here are Lilette and Miles using the Sanctuary 's binoculars to observe the grove more carefully:


Lilette, Miles, and Brian:


A nice expert/volunteer took our family picture:


This squirrel was petrified with fear so we took its photo with Miles in the foreground:
