Henry becomes a Farmer and We Buy a Jug

Henry and Jason came to spend the night with us, as Lindsey was out of town helping her friend who just had a baby.

It was a long ride for Henry, I really wish we were nearer, but it was really fun for all of us.
He really, really loves "the farm", as he calls it.    He explored every nook and cranny, called the surrounding fauna the "jungle one" and the "jungle two", which only he could get through.   He got to feed the Koi in the Koi pond, and then, he got to help with the animals.  Oh, he loved it!  We found about 3 eggs in all, and he carefully got them and held them oh so carefully. 

Henry particularly likes Jesse James, the goat, and he laughs at how greedy he is, especially when he tried to eat the fence!   He also was very careful with Murphy, but really wanted to say hello to him, and did, carefully.   Murphy let him pet him, which was nice.

We found a nearby park, where he got to ride the train and the Carousel, and then went to dinner at Willy Bird's restaurant, where he ordered the "turkey dinner" for us all.   Willy Bird turkeys are well known in this area for Thanksgiving. They are tender birds, which of course, are Organic--god forbid anyone in Northern California isn't doing anything that is "sustainable" and "organic"!
That night, he and Jason took a hot tub. 
He's been in a jacuzzi, but never a hot tub.

hot tub with daddy!

He was worried about Dan coming in because he was afraid if Dan came in, he would drown!   When he realize how big it was, he thought then that it would be o.k.   He called it a "hot tub bath."
Sunday morning, we let the girls out of the hen house .  Henry had named them all "Mimi", after a video game character he knows.  Jay took the adjoining video of them parading out of the coop, and please, don't notice how awful i look!    They left after lunch, with Henry being very, very sad to go!  He really liked it here!








After Jason and Henry left we took a ride to the Preston Winery and filled a jug with a Zin blend wine.

This is a weekly event where you can bring your jug and get it filled for $34. Lots of fun, and a great drive up there to Dry Creek.  This may be a weekly event while we are here.
