Grapehounds

Last weekend we went to the Grapehounds in Leesburg, Va.  It's a pretty small event and we aren't really wine drinkers either, but it's hard to pass up any greyhound event that's so close!  We even got the rare family photo - yep, that's a greyhound shirt my little munchkin is wearing...it's never too early to start her greyhound wardrobe :)


The vendors...


The VAGA tent...


How do greyhounds (Cueball, Booyah, Pippi, Maggie, Jackson, Sandy, and Allie) celebrate a wine festival in their honor? By sleeping, of course!


Our kids on the other hand get high off of sniffing grass and ass!  Oh, and peeing once every 5 feet!  They are too busy at these things to rest, but once we get back in the van they're zonked out in no time!


After so much excitement, they give fresh cold water two tongues up!  I was trying to de-clutter the family room the other day so I got rid of one bed (and left the other four).  I put the extra bed in the van thinking they would like having an even cushier ride, but, no, they think they can't lay where the bed is now and try to squeeze into the same spot in the back.  Silly, but cozy!


Next up is our annual VAGA picnic - we are hosting it at our house this year, so lots of pictures to come!

Very cute family portrait. Not sure that we even have one. Looking forward to the VAGA picnic at your place. Hope the weather holds out.

My kids get high off sniffing grass and ass--That should be a t-shirt.

I so wish we had an event like that out on the West Coast. My town is full of wineries!
