Some pics from the last 3 days:
On the way to a b-ball game
At the park, first time in a swing
Our stuff is here - YEAH!!!
The following are all on the Wine Trail we went to on Saturday. It was a beautiful day (70ish, clear and sunny). We visited several wineries with our friends and met some interesting people, as well as tasting some good wine and some not-so-good wine. There was also lots of CHOCOLATE!!!! It was great fun! The wineries all had displays from local artisans, local musicians playing, and lots of great food: merlot soaked tri-tip, Cold Stone Creamery ice cream with dessert wine topping, etc.
For those of you (like myself) who have never been on a Wine Trail, the idea is that many local wineries have wine tasting combined with music, food, artisans, etc. and everyone buys a glass (in this case for $20) and you travel from winery to winery with your glass tasting whatever strikes your fancy. And, of course, you can buy bottles or cases of whatever you like enough to want to take home.
Scenes from the Wine Trail:
Here is an ingenious way to travel the Wine Trail with your glass. This guy and his friends made these wine glass holders for the Wine Trail.
Wine tasting going on.
Old grapevines-60ish years old
Picking ripe navel oranges at the last winery. Yum! Joshua was especially excited to have a new "ball" to play with.

VINO!!!! I love vino!!!! these pix are making me very thirsty! Looks like a blast, and I hope that we can do that when we come to visit Fresno. when that will be, i'm not sure, but we can dream, right. By the way, that is so cool that you are still using your mayan wrap with joshua. You guys look great!
i am glad it is warm there for you guys, b/c it is below zero here. i bundle marcella in 10 layers plus a blanket just to leave the house. alrighty, maybe i should have a glass of vino to warm me up!

Joshua is very cute, he is definitly a keeper. Your first blog is very cool. That's amazing you've ssen Savannah Smiles, my Mom taped that when I was a kid, I liked it as well. I didn't think anyone had ever heard of it. Cool day trip to the wineries. We went to Temecula, our Southern CA wine region, beautiful scenery. Maybe you could freeze grapefruit juice, make grapefruit meringue pie, or grapefruit salad. Good luck with all your endeavors.
