Potomac Point Winery, Heritage Festival, and Aunt Trina's New House

We did a little swap, and somehow ended up with more dogs. Clockwise, it is Fern, Dante, Murphy, and Jaime on the couch, then Stella, Stanley, and Cali on dog beds, then Dana, Dusty, Shiloh, and Parker.Stella was quite happy when everyone left, and she could have the couch to herself.We took the kids one afternoon to Potomac Point Winery. We heard they were dog-friendly, so had to check it out. We decided to get a bite to eat at the cafe. The kids were tired from the wine tasting.Fredericksburg had its Heritage Festival. It got hot in the sun, so we decided to get some shade. Stanley enjoyed the cooling effect of the plants.We moved over to an area where everyone could enjoy some shade.Then we took the kids to see Aunt Trina’s new house. Everyone introducing themselves.Stanley and Cali going after the same stuffie.Guess who won.Stanley waits his turn.Stanley hates leaving stuffies in the yard.Stanley found a stuffie gone astray.It’s nice to have a dog who puts his toys away.Dana and Cali surveying their new yard.Amanda, Kenney, Trina, and Kris catch up surrounded by the kids.The kids help Scott retrieve wood for the chimenea.Smokey takes a break on the couch in the office.Two weenies on a bed. Both Urban and Blue wanted the quietest bed in the corner.Urban is attracted to the weeny dogs. He mind-melds with Jaime.Back home on the deck, a girl comes in for a feeding.

  5. stanley is chock-a-block full of manners: he waits his turn and picks up after himself. he's only missing a smoking jacket and slippers. he's the lord of the manor.

  7. That Stanley knows how to keep his room clean and be a good guest! However I think he was trying to tell you that he wanted to dress like George of the Jungle or Tarzan for Halloween this year!
