The next morning, the kids were up bright and early -- which, of course, meant I was too. After packing everything up and refueling (mmmm...Starbucks), we headed to our second field trip destination: Pleasant Hill Winery in Brenham. The winery is owned by the parents of some other friends, and they invited us to tour the winery, learn the chemistry behind wine-making, roast marshmallows, and taste some wine (grown ups only, of course -- the kids got to taste some fresh grape juice). The highlight for Griffin was the hay ride we took to get to the creek for frolicking and snacking. What could possibly be better than tractors and marshmallows?
After the winery, we stopped off at a monastery in Brenham that breeds miniature horses. Strange? Yes. But they're so darn cute! We were tempted to throw one in the van and bring him home.

One Question:
Was that little boy reaching to pet the horse sweetly, or to move his hands in sweet, muddy miniature horse dung? Or to pick the single flower that's in the horse cage and tear it to shreds...
but hey, look at cute little me. Who'd be upset and suspicious with such a sweetie??
Nuns and mini-horses. Come on. I mean, you couldn't write that in a book and have people buy it.
