winery visit

A couple of weekends ago we drove to a nearby winery where they are very kid-friendly (juice boxes upon arrival!).  (Dog-friendly too which made Nate's day to see so many doggies.)
But first, before we got there we drove by these horses!  WOW!

Abigail and Nate fed the horse grass!

Sweet horses.

When we were ready to go, it seemed like this horse wanted to come with us!

At the winery, Abigail and Nate played a few games of Corn Hole.  Abigail has grown a lot since the last time we visited this winery!

We had our pizza lunch.

Played for a while, and then headed home.  On the way home we smelled a skunk - this is the part of the outing that Abigail is still talking about.

 

a day in the country

Here's Abigail, ready to report on her Saturday adventures . . .

We hopped in the car for a drive to a winery . . . Abigail did a good job reading books to herself in the car. ("Self, self, self" is a common phrase heard from Miz A these days...)

Taking a closer look.

What a beautiful day, and a beautiful place. Here are fellow picnic-ers and wine-tasters. Abigail made the rounds and visited each table at least once.

Taking a stroll after Mama did not take up Abigail's suggestion to "swim swim swim" in the lake. Always worth asking . . . you never know when she'll say yes.

Then Abigail found a footrest for a chair that was a great makeshift slide. Fun times!

Up she goes.

Made it to the top.

Slide on down.

Land, and repeat.

Then we were off for a walk.

Unfortunately we could not convince any of the friendly cows to come any closer, no matter how much we said "moooooo".

Abby heads off for one last jog in the grass before we packed up the car and headed home.
