Visit with Grandpa Al

We had a very nice weekend with Grandpa Al.  He flew in on Friday morning and Matt and I enjoyed a nice lunch with him at Five Guys before picking the girls up from school.  They both had soccer practice that night, so he got a chance to see both of them play.
Saturday morning, Matt and Allison took him to the Old Town Farmer's Market while Taylor was doing some volunteer hours at the high school. He got me these beautiful flowers!
 Reanna joined us for the rest of the weekend and these three spent many hours at the kitchen table playing board games and Mexican Train dominoes.  We also had our 2nd installment of Trivia Olympics that Al put together before his arrival.  Allison and Reanna were a team and won $50!  Taylor did well too and also ended with $50 in her wallet.  Matt and I had some tougher questions like "What was Roy Roger's dog's name?"  Seriously!  Anyway, we both ended with $25 each and had a fun time.

 On Sunday, we spent much of the day at Surfrider Beach taking in the sunshine and just relaxing.

Al couldn't believe how grown up the girls are getting and just enjoyed his time with them.  We had a quick dinner with Hank and Leslie before Matt took him to the airport and we look forward to another visit in a few months...
