max was really excited about feeding the sharks, but really seemed to enjoy the touching or petting them more. see those pictures below (we did that yesterday and again today before the feeding). but no petting during feeding...

more butterflies and sparkly rocks!

80 degrees at the beach

after the butterflies we walked across the bluffs to the beach

and daddy got sexy

and true to form, max got totally naked faster than i could protest.

then faster than that he got crazy itchy with the sand or something and freaked out until we brushed off the sand and put those clothes back on him.

It's a Beautiful Day!

we walked out th the Ellwood butterfly preserve and were surprised by how many people were out and how many butterflies, too.
