About Monsters University: Monsters
University is a 2013 animated family
adventure/comedy (Rated G).
Mike and
Sulley are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment
these two mismatched monsters met, they couldn’t stand each other. “Monster University”
unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcome their differences and become
the best of friends.

In Harmony with Nature
What type of wildlife have you seen in Harmony? Share your story at harmonylifestyledirector@johnsondev.com.
Several years ago development commenced in a forest we now call Harmony. The area was already occupied
by various forms of wildlife, many of which will continue to exist in Harmony long after the property is
fully developed. As a reminder, all wildlife should be respected and left alone. To learn more, check out the
Texas Parks and Wildlife website at www.tpwd.state.tx.us. It’s loaded with information.
