Memorial Day Weekend Fun



I don't know if you all know about the long road to restoration that we've been on with our mini. But for the past year she has been laid up in the garage getting a full makeover. We finally took the mini our for her first spin over Memorial Day weekend. Wine + Country = Relaxation. We took to the dirt road and traveled to Big Table Farm for some delicious viddles and vino. Everything was locally grown and delicious. 
It seems that I spoke too soon. After the first vineyard the mini broke down. We thought she was just out of gas but that didn't end up being the problem. I think 10 miles on a gravel road (ambitious?) had loosen some of the connections. We had to tow her home.
Mike spend several hours of the weekend  - on the car.
AMELIE - 10 MONTHS

These days Jack wants to do everything that Mike is doing. Even if it is mowing the yard.

Jack loves playing with his pirate water table - in rain or sunshine. Something about water and kids? Jack loves playing in the sink with cups or the bathtub with toys. So this will surely brings some quality hours of fun.

Playing in the dirt. Jack says "looking for worms and bugs".

Playing with bubbles is a favorite too.

Enjoy the sunshine if you are in Portland!

Love how good that wine and country sound! Sorry about the mini and all the time it took Mike away from you guys over the weekend. I'm impressed he even tackled that project from the beginning. Very impressed. I love the pictures and Jack's water table. You make life look beautiful. Beautiful pictures and subjects, too! ;)
