Grape picking with Opa!

On Saturday Levi and I went grape picking at  'Opa's' vineyard! Dad has been running the Entally Estate Vineyard for quite some time now and has managed to produced an awesome crop of delicious grapes ready to be made into the wine we will drink if we decide to fly Qantas to our next holiday destination!! We are very proud of him and his team of workers and I couldn't resist taking a few pics! Mum, Oma, Uncle Colin, Elyse and heap of other volunteers helped pick about 4 tonn in 3 hours- now thats ALOT of grapes! 

The plot that we picked

Oma and Elyse hard at work!

 Dad and his grapes!

Levi was DETERMINED to help pick something....

so he tried his hand at leaf picking and eating....

 and nearly tipped the pram over trying to climb up and reach! Such a little shmuck....... :)

 He was also the foreman making sure all the pickers were up to the task :)

 Mum having a go!

And THEN.... he got to ride the tractor with Opa!


 "Mum, stop this photo taking nonsense, I'm trying to work here woman!"

 "Man, this steering wheel sure is heavy Opa!"

The view on the way home.. Just magical :)
