Whew!

It has been Spring Break this past week! At first, Lincoln City seemed a little quiet for this time of year, but after the first few days last weekend, more people showed up and the town is alive with visitors. We even had visitors. Allison, Jason and the girls came over last weekend and the 2 older girls stayed her for a little extra Grandma and Granpa time. Dena still had daycare available when Mom and Dad would be working, so she went back with them.
We headed back to the Portland area for most of the week and on Tuesday, Allison and I took the girls to see the play "Goodnight, Moon". Dena (2) still keeps saying "I loved it" but claims she didn't like the cow who kept trying to jump over the moon and would fall. I think she thought the cow was getting hurt and it bothered her. But she loved the bunny! Allison could quite get the tooth fairy's resemblance to Elvis?
Wednesday, I had all 3 girls and even St. John came over in the afternoon, so I was surrounded by my grandchildren. Dick and Lincoln (the dog) showed up on Wednesday night so Dick could golf on Thursday. Then, Linc and I headed off to Brett and Liz house Thursday morning to babysit St. John all day while Linc played with their dog, Tillee. Allison called and all the girls showed up so we could go have coffee at St. Honore, the French bakery. Yum! That evening, Brett and SJ escaped to at our house since Liz' "book club" was gathering at their home. Finally, on Friday, I watched Eliana and Sarina while Dena went off to her daycare "school" and Allison and Jason headed to work. St. John came over for a little while too so the older girls again had fun practicing "babysitting". They like to entertain him with their dancing and he seems to enjoy the show.
Friday night we capped things off with Allison, Jason, Dick and I going to the Lakewood Theatre to see "A Flea in her Ear" while Brett and Liz took their turn babysitting all the kids. Grandma Sue had enough kids by then and needed an adult night out before heading back to the beach. I am exhausted from all that youthful energy, but it's just Spring Break!
