Mom (Allison) and the girls came over to the coast for a few days before Mom started her new job and Eliana and Sarina were back in school. It was rainy and dreary most of the time but we did get a walk on the beach and Grandpa Dick and Sarina flew the kite when it cleared up a little. Inside we found time for a tea party that Dena took very seriously since we used china cups and plates. We had oyster crackers and lemonade but it was still a tea party. Since we were a houseful of girls except for Dick and Lincoln, we did get to the outlet mall for some shopping and the girls are all set for school. They headed back to see Jason and get back into the flow of everyday life and Grandpa Dick and Grandma Sue got back to their beach coma.
