This Ain't No Jive Turkey

It's Thanksgiving week in Abigail's class.  Today she made a turkey hat.  She loves it.

More Wine

Our final stop on our wine tour yesterday was at Stolpman Vineyards tasting room in the wine ghetto.  We ran into a family that we met at Babcock Winery and Vineyards.  They were a really fun family and we enjoyed getting to know them.  When we were getting ready to leave and pay it turned out they had paid for our tasting.  It was the perfect way to end our wine tasting adventure.

Wine, Wine, Wine And...

This afternoon I met some ladies from work for an afternoon of wine tasting.  We started out a Foley Estates Vineyard and Winery, then we headed to Babcock Winery and Vineyards.  Next we headed to Fiddlehead Cellars in Lompoc's wine ghetto.  It was a fun afternoon with a fantastic group of ladies.

Sunglasses

Abigail recently had taken to wearing a pair of my old sunglasses.  They are way too big for her but she doesn't seem to mine.  She will wear them for hours at a time.

Ring My Bell

It's one of the most interesting phenomenon that something becomes interesting once someone else decides to play with it.  Yesterday morning at the park Abigail and I discovered this bell.  No one was playing with it, but as soon as she and I started playing with it kids from all over the playground decided they wanted to play with it too.

Picture #1: Abigail discovers the bell.
Picture #2: Other kids want to play too.
Picture #3: Other kids take turns ringing the bell.
