Much needed quiet and family time. 

Alot of fun together.

 We spent most of our week on this beach 

 This lil guy was so happy and ran WILD

 Greta meeting Shelldun that had been hit by a car and rehabilitated. 

 biking around the island, Fieldin took it easy on a trail -a-bike. It felt like the old days, riding around with him. 

 Fieldin making shell animals and mastering the glue gun

 Ready for take off.. I remember the days when Jeff and I would hold Greta for a flight, and then Fieldin came along and and all three of us would hold him.. now they take care of themselves. 

 Venice beach at sunset
