July Fourth, Berry picking, adventure days and Wineries!

Summertime!

Summer has been going super fast over here.  Can't believe its already half way through.  One of the best things we've found to do early in summer is head out to the farms in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for summer berry picking fun... Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and all sorts of stone fruits! Bella loved the hay rides being from field to field, fruit to fruit and back to the cashiers to pay.












We were trying to work out why Bella kept asking us to visit more and more wineries.  Of course we were very happy to indulge her but we were wondering about her motivation.

Turns out inevitably at all wineries we always get cheese plates or Bella manages to make friends with the staff and wrangles some biscuits or something.  It is for this reason that Bella loves going to wineries, well and the fact that they usually have a good place to run around.











Yummy home made pizza! Aussie style!
