While my mom was visiting, we went to Natural Bridges State Beach to see the monarch butterflies. They stop in Santa Cruz along their migratory route between Canada and Mexico. It was a beautiful sight to see all those butterflies. We even witnessed a "burst." The girls were semi-interested. Ha. Afterwards, we went to the beach and stayed until we were too chilly and tired to stay any longer. It was a pretty, sunny day, but that wind off the ocean can be nippy! Oh and in very exciting news, Greta finally likes the ocean! She used to cry and cry if I even so much as held her while I put my feet in the ocean and heaven forbid her toes touched that salt water. Nowadays, she's running in and out and absolutely loving it. It's so exciting! I'm so grateful to live where we do. There's so many beautiful and wonderful things to see!
