It has been exciting since the beach with family and friends visiting....
Our friends Scott and Sharon with our godson Cameron came for several days. Jeff's mom, Sister and our nephews came for a few days as well and our friend Dave came to visit last week.






















































The sunsets out our front window our gorgeous.


















Our friend gave us some Monarch caterpillars that we watched change and then let one of them go with Ema's new little neighbor friend Ripley.
