Kat and Matt listen while Ronald reads to them from a well-loved Barney flip-up book.
(.....ok mom, you have enough pictures of me already.....)
Rhoda, just up from her nap: who ARE these people?!
Rhoda wanted to climb right up on Matt's lap at Stone Brewery...she's a little love bug!
....and a good eater!
.....as is her brother!
Lori and Joost, know the routines here at the Brewery: they brought along little flasks with porcelain and wire "flip tops"--to be filled and brought back home! Yeah, baby!
Ice, baby, Ice!
ooops, I'm seeing D O U B L E (hehehe, I'm cracking myself up here...but it's all because I'm not paying attention to my (can you say slow?) downloads)
See? I told you she was a love bug!
Lori and Joost host a Tent City on their front yard....
They make room for all the travelers, anyone who might be passing through....
All are welcome at Bendeville. Ni Night, Luke!
(Of course, all hell broke loose when the sprinklers came on and soaked little Rhoda and Kat, who was horizontal in a tube at that point, and Luke got it too in the tent! Rhoda had to be peeled, slowly and carefully, off Joost's leg so that he could turn off the water!)
Is that ET? Matt? Who is that white boy, underneath all those toys??
Bedtime stories at the Bende's.....
What I missed: shots of the food and the beers and the stones at the brewery. The YUMMO chocolate martini that Joost made with raspberry vodka. O. M. G. Two sips were all it took to hook me. That, and I was driving! Thanks for having us over, L&J...and R&R! Keep up the good work!

Whoa...a chocolate martini made with raspberry vodka. I think I gotta have one of those.
ReplyDeleteWho ARE these people? Relatives? College pals? You might wanna keep your readers in the loop, Miss Blogger-Us-Up-The-Coast!
Lori is a Bodacious Online Optometry Babe. Her babies were born on my birthday in 2007--a nice day to share! Joost is her hubby, originally from Holland. He is an architect who works for a firm that designs healing environments that maximize health outcomes.
ReplyDeleteKat is Luke's dear one. And Luke is my nephew, Matt's cousin. He's a smart one, that boy!
