Alice on the butterfly trail

Calvin had a week of vacation in January that we tried to coordinate with the birth of Rosie's baby in Santa Barbara.  That is always a little challenging, but we managed pretty well.  We also had to plan the trip around Sierra storm windows, and we had a window on Thursday, so we drove straight to Santa Barbara arriving Thursday evening. Friday morning we took Alice on an outing to the Ellwood Beach Butterfly preserve while Rosie and Jay went to an OB appointment. 

It was just a delightful morning and Alice is a great adventurer.  

We saw some butterflies before we even got to the eucalyptus grove. Look closely and you can see a couple of orange blobs in the picture.

 Alice was equally interested in the butterflies on the trail signs.
 The butterflies are cool....
but watching a tree hugging Alice was even more fun.

  1. Haha, she is a Santa Barbara native. Perhaps we have a future environmentalist.
