Happy Dad's Day

In Chez Ferris, a one day holiday usually turns into an entire weekend-celebration. To celebrate my father, we went to a winery on Saturday called Robibero Family Vineyards. This place used to be Rivendell Winery, however, much to the chagrin of my father, Rivendell closed their doors several years ago. He loved that winery, particularly because one of their white wines was his favorite wine. But we were pleasantly surprised when we went to the newly remodeled home of Robibero Family Vineyards. This place is awesome, particularly because it was so large, clean, and nicely designed. And I know it's a winery and everything, but it was a great place for Cole to run around. It was relatively quiet so he had the run of the place, literally! It was really exciting for him and for us chasing after him. We took turns drinking our wine and running after the little man.

Here are my three favorite people: my father, my husband, and the light of my life- my baby

Doesn't he just look so beautiful here?

He was actually giggling with pure glee as he ran up and down the aisle in between the tables and chairs.

Pointing is his new favorite thing to do. "This!" he always says.

Everybody's trying to get in on the pointing. It's what all the cool kids are doing.

How sweet is this pic?

 To celebrate Keith for Father's Day, we went to the Walkway on the Hudson on Sunday. This used to be a railroad bridge that spanned the Hudson River. It had been closed for many years. About 2 years ago they reopened it after spending some time making it into a walking bridge. It's also now a state park and the rail trail from Highland leads to the bridge. We parked in Highland and rode over the bridge. On the bridge almost everyone stopped to point at or notice Cole inside the trailer. He had a ton of fun people watching.  We rode on into Poughkeepsie where we went to Pulaski Park. It's after we found empty dime bags and broken glass under a nice shade tree that we decided to leave. The ride was a grand total of 8.8 miles. We can't wait to do it again.

Later on that afternoon we finally got Cole to enjoy the pool a bit. Who knew we just had to give him some toys?
