Three Foxes Winery

Last Saturday Mac, Corrie and I (Amanda) met Christina, Jake and their newborn Elsa at the Three Foxes Winery near our house. The thought never crossed my mind to visit a winery before, so when Christina called and asked if we wanted come along, I thought, "Hmmm, yeah, that does sound like fun...sure!"

We had a wonderful and relaxing time enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery (although we did have to tune out the whining babies...it was a "winery" we were visiting, after all!). Jake took some wonderful pictures, and you can see them below. I am so thankful to have cultured friends...thanks "Aunt Nina!" :).

 

 Can you see that table at the very top of the hill? That's where we sat!

 

Here Corrie and I are engaged is some very distinguished conversation

 

Sweet little Elsa taking a nap with daddy :)

There was even a hayride through the vineyards

  There was a little stream with picnic tables, hammocks and plenty of sticks to throw in the water :)

Corrie let us know when it was time to home... :)

Aunt Julia

One of my favorite pictures of Corrie! (....and you too Julia!)

Little Butterfly

First Birthdays

Just thought it would be fun to compare the first birthday cake experiences here. What an interesting glimpse into these two unique personalities! (Can you guess who makes the majority of the messes around here?)

 

Corrie Turns 1!

We can't believe it, but Corrie is already one! Has time flown by or what? We had such a wonderful birthday party at Lynn and Jay's house. Corrie got to celebrate with her cousin Hannah, whose birthday is just a few days apart from Corrie's.

There were beautiful cakes (a ladybug for Hannah and a Butterfly for Corrie) which were made by Shirley Kimmel, Lynn's mother in law. Mac got to play in the dirt, and the other kids got to play on the new swing set in the backyard. All in all, a great day :)

Mac takes playing in the dirt very seriously

As does Landon!

And the girls took eating their cake very seriously!

Dan! You made it! Next time make sure to bring your better half too :).

Both girls got such wonderful gifts!

Stay classy, Pasadena

Mac got to end his day with a ride on the lawnmower...can't beat that!

What would YOU do with your first pair of rain boots?

For anyone who knows Mac, this comes as no surprise.

yeah...sorry the video is sideways! Still learning how to use the video recorder on the new phone.
