Sep 7, 2025 - We're done harvesting the grapes but now Kev is loving some tractor work.
Kevin's dream tractor
Todd's making pizzas
in the new Ooni oven
we tried a few different toppings
picture perfect...yum
Sep 8, 2025 - Last morning at the Vineyard and this afternoon we'll head to Morro Bay State Park for the week.
more tractor work
this view of the vineyard never gets old
some deck work
Kitty wants to join us
some Marilyn time
do those fingers taste good?
Marilyn gets a great view while getting changed
a walk on the bike trail
we are loving the home grown tomatoes from Karen
brats and tots at the campsite
Sep 9, 2025 - Today we did a hike from the campground.
Morro Bay SP isn't the greatest campground, the sites are pretty packed in, but should be nice to be so close to Morro Bay. It's a mile and a half walk to town and the Morro Bay SP boardwalk trail is just across the street
doesn't it look like a button? It's a Eucalyptus seed pod
Nice walk along the bay next to the heron rookery
so green!
beautiful bay
Elaine and Ian (and Marilyn) invited us and Todd and Laurie for a cook out.
lots of snuggle time
perfect-ness
the guys
Sep 10, 2025 - Today was a lazy day, but we did make it over to check out the marina and do the .7 mile Morro Bay SP boardwalk.
the marina
the boardwalk trail before the boardwalk
the kayak shack (we need to do some paddling in the bay)
that's a view
the photographer
we found the boardwalk
and some views of Osos across the bay
Sep 11, 2025 - Thursdays are concerts at the Tidelands Park in Morro Bay
great spot for a concert if it wasn't so darn windy!
but another cool part of Morro Bay that we hadn't been to
Relax!
Sep 12, 2025 - We stopped for a visit with Marilyn before heading to the Vineyard for the weekend.
Tummy time
I think she likes it?
that neck is getting strong
Elaine and Ian went out for happy hour sushi while we babysat before our 40 minute drive to the vineyard!
sunset at the vineyard barn
Sep 13, 2025 - More tractor work and the Creston Rodeo today.
there he goes
cute little stump
it's only a 10 minute drive to the tiny town of Creston. They have their local rodeo in September and we're so happy to be here for it. We love a rodeo!
A very patriotic opening to the rodeo
that's lots of cowboys
We've never seen magic carpet ride race at a rodeo before
we always love the barrel races
and then relay races
we went to Long Branch for dinner and live music in the garden. It's not very often you see a horse parked in front of a restaurant. (it's the only picture I got and blurry, but I had to include it)
gotta love an "EAT" sign in front of a restaurant
Sep 14, 2025 - Last day at the Vineyard before heading back for another week at Morro Bay SP
A walk around the vineyard...a nice collection of mailboxes
prickly pear
different view of the mailboxes
pretty mimosa tree on my walk
good night
