Mother's Day picnic at Byington Winery
We had a fabulous Mother's Day.
My mom came up for the weekend and we went to my usual Sunday morning yoga class together. I had promised her that it was normally an easy, relaxing class, etc. but then the teacher suddenly got all Yoga Nazi on us and was barking orders for difficult poses right from the get-go. We finished the class with *handstands*, for crying out loud. Mom was a good sport though, and enjoyed it in spite of the unexpected torture factor.
We came home, pulled together some tasty picnic food and took off for Byington WInery up in the mountains outside of Los Gatos. It's a lovely setting and the wines are great. They had live music and the weather was perfect. My cousin Anni and her daughter Hana joined us there, which made it even better.
We picnicked on the lawn and Julian played bocce ball with another family all afternoon. They were nice enough to adopt him. Every time I looked over he was rolling a bocce ball, or playing cards with them, or partaking in some other fun activity with their two sons. It was hilarious. We barely even saw him the whole time we were there. Mr. Social Butterfly.
Adrian was following right along in his brother's partyin' fool footsteps. I brought his folding bouncy seat and he sat right up at the picnic table with everyone and just had a ball. I don't think he stopped laughing, smiling, kicking, bouncing, and waving his arms until he finally passed out cold on my back at the end of the day. He partied and partied, then stopped for a snack (shown above), then partied some more.
I was bummed to realize that I hadn't taken any photos at the end of the weekend, but luckily Anni is a fantastic photographer and took a bunch of shots. Thanks Anni!
