A TRIP TO THE VINEYARD

THIS IS THE CELLAR WHERE THEY KEEP THE GRAPES UNTIL

THEY GO TO MARKET... DOESN'T IT JUST LOOK LIKE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE DAYS... I THINK I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG ERA... I LOVE THIS KIND OF STUFF.

JOJO WAS MORE ENAMORED WITH THIS BEETLE:)


THE NEXT FEW PICTURES ARE OF THE BOYS WITH SOME OF THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF GRAPES THEY HAVE ON THE VINEYARD. I THINK THEY HAD 16 DIFFERENT KINDS... ALL DELICIOUS... ALL SO SWEET.

Today we were invited by a sweet girl named Jamie from our church to go to her mom's vineyard. Her mom is the sweet lady who dropped the fruit and veggies by our house the other day. She used to be Jojo's Sunday school teacher and the kids all call her "the egg lady" because she often gives us farm fresh eggs. Now the kids know her real name, but I think they might like to call her "the grape lady" now.

The vineyard was amazing. I have never been to a vineyard. It was beautiful and they are such nice people. I always go to farms and think I would love that kind of lifestyle. Yet I wonder if I could really handle it. They work so hard. But wow, seeing all those different kinds and colors of grapes, and getting a chance to taste them all was so fun. I am serious, I think those grapes taste like candy, they are so sweet. I love seeing God's handiwork and creativity in nature. It was such a treat. We had a delightful time visiting with Jamie and her 2 kids at our house and then such a fun learning

experience at the vineyard.

We are going to count that as a field trip:)

We are going to head to Texas on Sunday to go camping with some friends... after that the kids are going to be hit with the brutal reality of the REAL school year schedule. It will be fun while it last though.
