After a stressful week of float construction the Juniors came in with a disappointing 4th place. Just so everyone knows there are only 4 classes in high school so yes that is dead last. Come on if there was a 5th place they would get that too. Oh well. better luck next year! On the plus side the Depotty's made the journey to Centreville for a quick but eventful visit :)
After our dogs met and tried to attack each other (hence Sydney's total domination of Sadie) we journeyed to Hubbard's Orchard in Three Rivers. Upon arriving we were directed to a vast area filled with apples and grapes that we attempted to find after tasting the local brandy.
Bryan: "Excuse me sir...where can we find the brandy?"
Kate "Oh wait...we should have followed the spray-painted pink arrows on the sidewalk"
Matt "What else screams this way to brandy?"
Bryan and Matt were about to try the 150 proof grape brandy but their plans were thwarted by other visitors so we made our way to the grapes. They weren't too dissapointed after tasting the potent 120 proof pear brandy.
Grape picking was quite entertaining, between throwing grapes at each other and eating them it's surprising we ended up with a full basket. However it was not surprising that Byran had purple spit! Next we made our way to the apple trees.... on the way their we had a hilarious/disturbing situation involving a full moon. For more details you'll just have to ask us later...
Finally as we made our way back to the orchard with our 16lbs of grapes and our 1/2 bushel of apples we suddenly realized that this might be an expensive venture...Byran and Matt nervously waited for our total to be rung up and were astonished when the woman said...
That'll be $6.40
What a great weekend.
