(RJ is sitting next to his 5 month old cousin at the dinner table)
RJ: (holds up a grape) Now this. This is an olive. It’s delicious.
Vi: (flaps arms, yells)
RJ: And these are veggies. They are very bad for you.
Vi: (shrieks of joy)
RJ: Lollies are great though. Definitely eat lollies.
Vi: (loving the attention)
RJ: … and you can always eat rubbish.
RJ: (turns to everyone else at the table) I’m the worst teacher ever!

A few more pictures from our last trip to Gingin. Our friend E stopped by to visit and we had a great time playing in the shed and chasing the pinballs around the fields. The next day we had to prune the grape vines to get them ready for the next growing season. It should be a great crop this year!

RJ gives LR a lift on the block and tackle.

E, RJ and LR decided to bury a small finch, instead of feeding it to Mr. Bitey

Pinball wizards!

Playing fetch with the kids. Sticks don't work, but giant pinballs do!

Look out Poppa! Floating pinballs are dangerous!

Poppa had a bat take residence in his computer.

Mum gets to work on one of the more pathetic grape vines.

LR gets the low branches; Grammy gets the high ones.

RJ helps chop the weeds... unless it's one that he thinks is cute.

Scarlet helps by sniffing everything.

LR harvests the olives, lemons and rose hips.

These olives need to be pickled before we can eat them.

LR carried the bucket everywhere. Strong kid!
