Friday afternoon we went to Rye to a Holiday House with some friends. Before we left, Luke decided that he wanted to drive

But, we told him, "Sorry Mate, maybe when your feet can touch the pedals!"
On the way there we stopped at some Wineries
At the Barmah Park Vineyard


The tractor in this picture was made at Allis Chalmers (sp?), in West Allis, I believe

We ate lunch at Dromana Estate Vineyard,




We also stopped at the Hickinbotham Winery briefly.
Just as we were pulling into Rye, it started to pour, and continued to do so until Sunday morning, with a brief break Sat. afternoon.

On Saturday he started out reading with Sarah, whom he developed a HUGE crush on

After we got backfrom the beach, it was not raining yet, so we played a little tennis


later, eating the remote

Luke is now very into fruit. In fact, it's almost the only thing he'll eat

He didn't sleep so well at this place. Friday night he actually climbed out of the cot (pack n' play) on his own. and Sat. night, it took forever to get him to sleep


The group, minus the little ones

and on Sunday morning, Luke helped vacumn
