My Monthy Summer Post

Before I get started in the explanation of these amazing pictures, let me first say that I hate when you're uploading pictures to blogger and it puts them in the opposite order you added them-- for example, you are looking through your pictures, brainstorming how you're going to make your blog entry flow, and then, when everything is uploaded and ready to go, you pictures are all in the wrong order. I've said my piece.

The Country Fair! We took a trip to Eugene in the middle of July. It was a trip for the summer, and it was a fun one! This recent family snap shot would be us, at the fair, drenched in mud and rain. It started down pouring as soon as we got onto the shuttle bus and didn't stop til we got in line to get back on the shuttle to go back to Eugene. We made the best of it. Lucy even got a sno-cone. Good times, good times.

We had a surprise visit from Chris and Alisa who went to the fair on Saturday, and stayed with us at our friends' Nikki and Brady's house on Saturday night. We pitted cherries and against everyone else's will except my own we played a game that I thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you!

A group shot! Sans Nikki :( Brady, Ryan, Lucy, Me, Sarah and Rowan. This was at a winery in the Willamette Valley-- Sweet Cheeks. We had dinner here and it was my first wine tasting trip! Yee-haw! This was the second of two places; the first one with a free 7-taste flight! It might be my new favorite hobby!



R & R at the first of the two wineries--that are across the street from each other.



I don't know what it is about this picture, but I like it. An action shot.
In other news, I saw the movie Julie and Julia last week, and there are two things that are going to come out of it: I am going to get a Julia Child French cook book, and I'm am going to try and blog more. I'll let you know how it goes! Ha!
