Deanna Rose Farmstead....

...Such a neat place that we don't go to as often as we should.  There is just SO much to do at a very low cost...this family on a budget sure loves it!

Eva getting a little push from big sister...right into a bush!

Taking time out to strike a pose...I love that they are loving the camera these days...even one year-old Eva runs over to look at the screen on the camera to see what the picture looks like...(although I'm pretty sure she is just copying her sisters!)

Don't pay any attention, Uncle Curtis...pretend this tractor is green!!

Feeding the goats...these are agressive little things...

"ooooh, oooooh" was Eva's response all day....she was LOVING all the animals!!

 And this is how the Indians lived...

Who needs flowers when you have these?!?

Harvest Crew 2011...

Life with 4 kids under the age of 7 is just not adventurous enough, so we got up early this morning and ventured out to Holyfield Winery for the annual picking of the grapes. The girls have been asking ALL year long when we can go back and pick grapes, because they had such a memorable time LAST YEAR. Of course we all had an incredible time, spending time together, chasing kids, making sure they don't hurt each other with pruning shears and filling up our buckets with grapes!


These were all the kids that came to pick grapes...a family friendly place for sure!


Claire and Eva were our taste testers!!




At the end of the day trying to get a picture of our whole crew...

Edyn carefully cutting off the grapes...gotta love a 3 yr old with pruning shears...

SO proud of all her grapes!!

Getting a little help from cousin Alex...

Working hard to get all the grapes off the vine!

What's better than a 3 yr old with pruning shears? A 2 yr old...especially my brother's child :)

Eva trying to hug Claire....they were instant best friends!
Group picture time...of the kids!

Claire loved Eva's car!

And Eva loves Claire!

Look at that bunch!!
LAST YEAR we found a really cool spider web....this year it was a frog. It was SO hard for the kids not to pick this thing up...of course it was easier for us just to tell them it would sting them and could make them REALLY sick was really poisonous...

This is SO much fun!

Eva loved eating picking the grapes too!!
