Monday, July 28, 2008, brought the arrival of Jake & Mal's momma,
Deborah, to San Diego!

On the way back from the airport we stopped at UTC for lunch and a
little shopping.


Back in Encinitas, it was time for a walk on the beach. These photos
were taken about half-way between Moonlight and Swami's

The next day, Wednesday, Jake got in a little low tide practice with
the skim board and he did really well.

Mal, Jake, Herb
Later at the beach we were joined by Ashley, Sara and Greg.

The girls are doing their traditional pose they've been doing almost
every summer since Mal & Sara were about two.

Mal & Sara are exactly the same age, only a couple hours apart, born
on the same day. Ashley is a couple years older, Jake, a couple years
younger.

Later we walked down to Moonlight beach in an unsuccessful attempt to
see some grunions.
On Thursday, Deb took the kids up to Orange County to spend some time
with Deb's good friend Chad and show the kids some more of Laguna and
Newport Beach. On Friday, the kids' last day here we went to UCSD to
check out the campus for Mal and then hit the beach where we ran into
Ashley and Greg who joined us for bbq'd burgers Friday night. I guess I
forgot to take pictures because I couldn't find any on my camera. The
kids left at the crack of dawn Saturday morning but Deb still had four
more days. We had a great time with the kids and with the kids and Deb
together and now we were looking forward to a little quality time with
just Debbie.
