Napa Valley Visit and the Ghost and Ghouls Halloween Party at Clark County Museum

Saturday, October 29, 2005

We had such a wonderful visit with my aunt in Napa Valley, California. We got to pick (with permission) Merlot grapes at the Silverado Winery's Vineyard. (Owned by a Disney) They were absolutely the sweetest grapes I've ever eaten. We had pure grape juice and grape syrup. Josh devoured the grapes, seeds and all! We toured up the valley and visited quaint towns. It was a fast trip but very worthwhile. It's such a beautiful area this time of year with the grapes in harvest and leaves changing color. Plus, my aunt is such a delight.

JOSH LOVED THE GRAPES!

PICNIC AND PLAYING IN ST HELENA, CA

Last night we attended a fun Halloween event near home. Joshua was in a costume contest and a reporter asked if she could take his picture. He was so cute in his Pumpkin Pooh costume. He seemed a little perplexed by it all but got lots of candy, played games, and has been talking about it all morning. He definitely had fun. We were fortunate that my parents were still here last night too, so that made it even more special!

Joshua attended his first major costume party this weekend at the LV Renaissance Fair. There were all kinds of folks there in all kinds of get-ups, and all were having fun!

We danced to the music of Darby O'Gill and the Little People and Heather Alexander's band: Uffington Horse. I recommend checking out both. http://www.heatherlands.com/ and http://www.darbyogillband.com/
