Grapes!

Suzi took these pictures when she went with Hannah's class to the grape festival. The Grape Festival is a big time event here in Lodi every year. I missed it, and Sam did too. However, everyone else in the family made it over there this year.

It's the carnival environment that you all love. The fried food, dangerous rides, scary people, and interesting ways designed to take your money.

Patrick went over on Saturday night with some of his buddies. That night there were 20,000 people there. Funny part is he wanted to hang out late with his buddies. Mom called him and said she was going to come pick him up, but he begged for more time. Not much later after that he noticed the crowd had changed as the night moved on. Some fights with the testosterone crowd had taken place, and magically he was good. Ready to come on home. Mother knows best.

Anyhow, these are some of the murals made primarily of grapes in the pavilions there at the grape festival. Hannah's class went during school hours.
