Arrington Vineyards

What do you do when you have an afternoon free with the wife and nothing planned? Arrington Vineyards seems like a great place, you're right! We did a little wine-tasting, found a nice swing in the shade, and enjoyed each other's company for a few hours. It seems like Brooke and I have been running a million miles an hour lately, so this was a great change of pace, if just for an afternoon.

My attempt at an artistic picture to enter into a contest for free wine. My resources and talent were rather limited.

What? Afternoon free or not, Words with Friends takes no time off!

Not a bad view.

I resisted the urge to go grape pickin.

Tonight we feature a fruity red wine with a, uh, nice smell and a, um, fruity taste. I don't know much about wine, I just know when it tastes good. And this one did.

I don't remember why this was taken as so, but it made the blog.

This is my homage to Greg - the presneeze face. This is what we do on our afternoon off. Relax, have a glass of wine, and take stupid pictures. I love my wife!

Memorial Day Cookout

As if you need a reason to have a cookout, we decided for Memorial Day we'd get the family together for a little get together at the Henson house. Mom and Dad Henson that is, since Dennis isn't super mobile right now. The Yeisers came in from Lexington, the Baughmans came over, and cornhole was set up. Yep, sounds like a good Memorial Day cookout to me!

Me and Russ are doing the very important job of grilling the hamburgers. Which involved a lot of standing around staring at the grill. We handled the task very well.

Kelsen was fascinated by Jack, who was equally fascinated by this person that was actually closer to his size than anyone else he'd seen lately.

Kelsen getting serious about getting through that hole to find Jack.

Such a nice day to just sit outside. One of the two days we've had this summer that wasn't painfully hot.

No, we did not plan the outfits. Yes, we did plan the drop in about 50 pounds to look good in our outfits.

Me and Mom II.

Mom and Dad's awesome new deck - perfectly situated in the shade for optimal laziness.

Kelsen's favorite part of cornhole? Chasing flying bags of corn.

Poor guy, all tuckered out after a long day. Or in a meat coma. Or just enjoying the fact it was an awesome day to just hang out and relax. Can every weekend be a 3-day weekend??
