August 23, 2014

Playing with one of the local dogs at Grandpa and Mary's house.


Rainbow chard!

Grace out with the chickens.


Walking through the vineyard.


Picking grapes.


Grace was as interested in going in to see the cattle as Suki was not.







Visiting the pigs.






Then we went up to Rocco's camp to spend time with him and Janet.

Boarding the boat.









We stopped at the island, got carried across the water by Rocco (yes, all of us!) and then scaled an eight foot cliff to hike the island. The girls were -so- excited about our adventure.


Traditionally this rope is used to swing out over the water and drop, but we swung on it while on the boat instead.


Intently watching as...

...Rocco climbs the rope!















Exploring the graveyard.

Tossing paper on the fire to see what would burn and when.



Marshmallow roast.


Races.

Feeding potato chips to Junior.



Rocco and the girls.

Janet and Grace.

I love upstate New York with all my heart.
